Day 1: If you are flying in for your trip, you will want to fly into San Jose del Cabo Airport which is the closest International Airport to Cabo San Lucas. We strongly recommend you fly in at least one day prior to your Solmar V departure. If you cannot arrive the day before, you will want to arrive at SJD by 10:30am latest. Check-in begins with pick-up at the host hotel at 1.00pm or at the marina at 1.30pm.

Once aboard Solmar V, you will be assigned your stateroom and dive station. Our divemasters will ask to see your SCUBA certification card, proof of SCUBA insurance, nitrox certification (if you will be diving with nitrox), and ask you to sign the liability and waiver form if you have not yet already done so.

Day 2: After a 24-hours crossing, you will arrive at the Revillagigedo Islands in time for a check-up dive at the island of San Benedicto.

Day 3: On day three, you’ll be sticking around San Benedicto, enjoying up to four dives on world-class sites such as El Canyon and EL Boiler.

Days 4-5: Days four and five will be spent exploring the underwater world of Roca Partida. You’ll enjoy up to three dives a day on this small rocky pinnacle, home to large schools of jacks and tuna, as well as multiple caves where numerous shy species can be found. Oceanic whitetip sharks, hammerheads, and even whale sharks can be seen here with a bit of luck, along with the region’s famous giant oceanic manta rays.

Day 6: Today you’ll be focusing on the archipelago’s best known island, Socorro. With the chance to join up to up to four dives here, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to experience this island’s world-renowned sites, including Cabo Pearce, Punta Tosca, and Roca O'Neal, a.k.a Hammerhead Central.

Day 7: On day seven, you’ll return to San Benedicto for the final four dives of your trip, before departing for Cabo San Lucas in the evening.

Day 8: The crossing takes around 24-hours, with the Solmar V arriving back to the marina in Cabo San Lucas in the late evening. Guests will stay on board for one final night, in the port of Cabo San Lucas, enjoying a last evening meal together.

Day 9: We ask our guests to disembark after breakfast, between 8am and 9am. The crew will help to arrange taxis back to the airport or onwards to your next destination, but please bring USD or pesos for this.
