El Canon (The Canyon)

The Canyon is San Benedicto's shark junction. A ridge drops away to a cut in the shelf around 25-30 m where cleaning stations pull in scalloped hammerheads - sometimes scattered individuals, sometimes schools that fill the up-current view - while silky and Galapagos sharks ride the mid-water and whitetips pave the bottom. Tiger sharks pass through often enough that briefings cover them without drama. Mantas visit here too, though the Boiler keeps the crown. It is a patience dive: find the rock shoulder, tuck in low, control your bubbles, and let the traffic come round on its circuit. Multiple species per minute is a normal count.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Hammerhead schools over the cut, layered shark traffic, occasional tigers and mantas

टोपोग्राफी: Rocky ridge and canyon cutting through San Benedicto's southern shelf

करंट: Works best with flow across the ridge; guides stage divers behind the rock shoulders.

खतरे: Depth discipline in current; blue-water ascents off the shelf.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
