The dry season comes to an end at the end of May. The first drops of water fall on the thirsty bay that, for six months, endured a constant sun and offered us blue skies. Now, with this new rainy season approaching, we start to have our skies covered. And soon, the water will flow through our streets like rivers. In what we are accustomed to seeing, for us in the diving world, in Banderas Bay, in the sea, we have also seen the changes that are common when the warm currents from Costa Rica enter our coastal areas. And we have started to notice the arrival of jellyfish, which is a clear indication that the water temperature will increase. We hope that in the coming weeks, we will experience a mixed situation of good visibility and, at times, murky visibility, but leading us to blue, clean, and transparent waters. The photos we uploaded today reflect this transitional period we are going through, or rather, this period we are experiencing. From cold water to warm, tropical water. Temperatures that in winter and spring remained around 55°F at a depth of 60 feet are starting to rise progressively. And we will have the opportunity to dive at nearly 90°F at a depth of 60 feet. This, of course, has some implications, especially for the fauna that inhabit our bay. The first and most significant is that rays, manta rays, and different types of animals that inhabit our bay start to seek cooler waters, which causes them to be found at much deeper positions than usual. We’ll need to go a bit deeper, especially with those experienced divers who are qualified for it, to find slightly larger animals, especially those related to the shark and ray families. On the other hand, we’ll soon start to welcome our tireless travelers, the female turtles, back to the bay to lay their eggs. September is a nesting month, so we will probably have a summer full of activity this year, where we can find these turtles either seeking to mate or simply waiting for the right moment to come ashore and give birth to their young ones.” With the arrival of the rainy season, we typically face a very unpleasant situation. The trash that still litters the streets of the city, especially in the higher areas and less fortunate neighborhoods that are somewhat neglected by the public administration, gets washed away by the rainwater and flows down to the coast. That's where all those trash deposits accumulate and eventually end up in the sea. We kindly request that in the coming weeks, any of you old or new residents of Puerto Vallarta join one of the beach or neighborhood clean-up initiatives that will take place in the municipality. This will help reduce the volume of waste that ends up in the sea and contaminates it, as happens every year. The group of Bay Guardians, supported by Banderas Scuba Republic, plans to organize a clean-up in the Lindavista Oceano neighborhood, where the animal shelter is located, on Thursday, June 5th, starting at 8 am. We would be delighted and honored if you could join us and support our efforts to conserve our sea a bit cleaner, here you have our meeting point, please, bring gloves, sun protection and hats and sun glasses.
