Diver boats arrived at the center of the ZTA shortly after 6:00 and three hours later there were 10 of them. Around 9:30 a Navy vessel Interceptor was seen patrolling the area for a couple of hours and inspecting those small boats. They sent 3 of them back to port, supposedly because they were not authorized. At 11:00 we recovered one C-POD belonging to CONANP that was lost in the area. At 15:20, the last diver left the ZTA. Around 18:00, there was activity of small boats crossing in the ZTA and buffer zone. During the evening many small boats were present in the Vaquita Refuge south of the ZTA.
