October was a great month for diving and nature watch !! The moon eclipse was the most incredible event I had seen since the total sun eclipse 12 yrs ago it was beautiful! and the next day we released 150 green turtles !, they were so exited to get in to the water we still have a few nest waiting for them to hatch this coming weekend !
Anyway the diving its been great! We had seemed the schooling manta rays! And bull sharks as well as whale sharks, the sea lions are all over, there is a schooling jacks around the coral reefs and there is a sea lion playing with them so they put a really good show and there is also lot of sea turtles!! , So the water temperature is 82 degrees and the water visibility is 80 feet excellent diving! Also nite diving has been very nice lot of sleeper lobsters and California Spiny Lobsters!
Our tour to the Hot Springs are been a hit this last week, I took a tour couple of days ago and we saw a snake on the way, the river water temperature its about 76 degrees and the hot spring 102 degrees so nobody want to get out of it! , This week I had a client from NY whom she is been helping the kids from India and she just make a movie call Born in to Brothels, its just about to come out in the theatres check her web page www.kids-with-cameras.org her name is Zana Briski, very impressive work!
This coming month there is a couple of events going on our friends Gail & Bill from the Amigos de los Animales will have an animal clinic the 14 of this month, and the 15 there is a workshop in Santiago about how to build adobe houses! They are should be very interesting!

We are getting ready for our whale watching tours for this coming winter as well as for our horseback riding tours!

Well I hope you guys have a great week and lets keep in touch!
