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.
The Valentina liveaboard, which takes divers to the Soccoro Islands, is one of the most spacious vessels heading to the Revillagigedo Archipelago.
The Valentina liveaboard visits the Socorro Islands and measures 37 metres of safe and comfortable steel-hulled dive liveaboard. She was refitted to the highest of standards in 2013 to become a fully-fledged scuba safari vessel. The operation team and crew have over 15 years of experience in the Baja Peninsula area alone and will ensure you get the most from your inclusive dive trip to this once-in-a-lifetime scuba destination.
The Valentina caters for up to 20 divers in 10 air-conditioned ensuite cabins. Cabin types consist of 2 Deluxe Double Plus cabins with 1 double bed and 1 single bed (non-bunk). 1 Valentina Double cabin with a double bed. which is great for a couple and 7 Deluxe Twin cabins with large, spacious bunk beds.
She also has a large air-conditioned saloon and dining area and a sundeck with comfy loungers for relaxed surface intervals and star-gazing.
Three meals a day and snacks ensure you will not be going hungry during your Socorro dive adventure. The Valentina offers an inclusive, positive menu and caters for vegan and plant-based divers.
The kitchen creates various Mexican, European, and Asian-style dishes served in the comfortable, air-conditioned saloon, complimentary beverages, draft beer and soft drinks, are available on the main deck.
What a stunning image! This could be you heading off on one of the vessel’s dive tenders to dive Socorro. These divers are probably about to encounter colossal manta rays, a friendly local dolphin population, many species of sharks, and perhaps even a whale. Socorro is affectionately referred to as ‘mini Galapagos‘ for good reason, and because of this, dive trips to the archipelago book up years in advance.
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.
