Mexico|liveaboards
Scuba dive the remote Socorro Islands, only by liveaboard, and a 26-hour sail from Cabo. You will be rewarded with possibly one of the best diving experiences of your life. Comprised of four volcanic islands (the Revillagigedo Archipelago) located in the Pacific off the coast of the Baja peninsula, the diving provides the chance for big animal encounters, a pelagic paradise.
Experience giant Pacific manta at the boiler, San Benedicto, Humpback Whales, dolphins, and sharks at Socorro, and schools of Jacks and Tuna at Roca Partida. This destination rivals Cocos Island or the Galapagos for sheer exhilaration. The Revillagigedo Archipelago National Park was created in December 2017. The country’s largest marine protected area covers 57,176 square miles (148,087 square kilometres) and safeguards from fishing and other extractive activities.
Diving Socorro from the Nautilus Explorer is a choice for reassurance. The vessel is a forty-meter-long, strong steel-hulled dive liveaboard custom-designed for divers to provide the most outstanding level of comfort and safety. The passive stability system ensures a smooth ride to and from the national park. Not only that, but the vessel has also achieved the same safety certification as that awarded to large cruise ships.
The Nautilus Explorer caters for guests in 13 cabins ranging from lower-priced triple occupancy suites to luxurious premium cabins. All cabins have private bathrooms with air conditioning while the premium cabin, located on the hot tub deck offers a separate lounge with floor-to-ceiling picture windows and the ensuite has its own bathtub.
Whether in the dining room, main saloon, or on one of the sundecks, it is simple to find a place to relax. In the main saloon area, you will find video showings, a library, and an abundant bar.
The diving in Socorro will be nothing less than superb. You will head off to some of the World’s best dive sites in one of the Nautilus’s dive tenders that will drop you off safely, and pick you up, making sure you dive at the right place at the right time.
Huge manta, sharks, and maybe a whale or two are waiting for you.
Providing imaginative and fresh cuisine is a pillar of the liveaboard business, and the Nautilus Explorer kitchen is up to the task.
Four meals per day are served in either a buffet or a la carte style. Meals consist of North American and European flavours with a touch of Mexican. The chef can prepare for adapted diets, so vegan and plant-based divers will be in great hands❤️
Just so you know, the trip cost excludes the Socorro Islands Marine Park | Port fees, equipment rental (if any), and PADI course fees (if any). The marine park fee can alter occasionally, and there may sometimes be fuel surcharges.
As of last year the Mexican government doubled park fees to 3688 Mexican pesos per day of diving in the marine park. Get in touch for the latest information.
Expect to see the friendliest giant mantas in the world, bottlenose dolphins, up to ten species of sharks, and loads of fish. There will also be other activities to keep you busy, such as kayaking and paddle boarding. Or relax in the hot tub.
