Comments	Boat left out of Rocky Point. We mostly dove in the area of San Pedro Martir islands as the conditions further north had not been good the week before. Water was mostly 87F. Lots of sea lions, lots of black coral, nudibranchs, blennies, and variety of other fish (we were checking the fish books between dives!). Joshua is a fantastic chef - food was delicious. Crew is very friendly and hard working. The cabins may be a bit small, but you are really only in them to sleep and change clothes. Nice upper deck to relax either in the "tv room" or outside, and very roomy sun deck. Near the beginning and end of our trip, we got to snorkel with the whale sharks in Bahia de los Angeles. What a special experience. Some were feeding.
