What Diving the Revillagigedos Archipelago Really Looks Like, Part Three

San Benedicto is my favorite!

What Diving the Revillagigedos Archipelago Really Looks Like!!!!

While I love diving the entire archipelago of Revillagigedos, I confess to a slight bias toward the island of San Benedicto. I have several reasons for this, and the first is the appearance of the island itself. I absolutely love the lava streamed rock of the island, which last erupted in 1952. It also has amazing dive sites, namely El Boiler and the 3 Sisters. Each of these sites was boiling with wildlife action! Enjoy!

El Boiler is known for awesome Manta Ray encounters!

                                   I am fascinated with the clearly intelligent eyes of the manta.

One of my identification photos. Mantas almost always have Remoras on board, with no way to get them off.
Andrea took a couple of photos of me photographing a manta! So cool!

It was Hammerhead time on El Boiler, but I couldn’t get close enough for a really clear photo. They are sooo cool.
