Highlights
Explore the remote Revillagigedo Archipelago National Park
Tiger sharks, Galapagos sharks, oceanic whitetips, and whale sharks
Meet the friendliest giant oceanic mantas in the world at "El Boiler"

Get up close with the curious bottlenose dolphins of Cabo Pearce

Socorro is all about amazing interactions with giant mantas. You can also spot dolphins, ten species of shark, and humpback whales. You will see loads of whales on the surface and you will hear them singing when you are in the water. Most incredible of all is the opportunity to snorkel with the whales and sometimes even see them during a dive.

Day 1: Meet at our dive centre in the sunny vacation hotspot, Cabo San Lucas. Cabo Dive Centre is located next to the main lobby and bar of the Tesoro Hotel on the picturesque walkway of the Cabo marina. Our staff will be there to assist you with any rental gear you need, pre-trip day boat diving and the loan of a Nautilus LifeLine, Dive Alert and SMB. Starting in January 2019, we will also be offering a complimentary warm-up dive off Land’s End. Your ship will be available for boarding at 8pm, and is located just a short scenic stroll away, where appetisers and champagne will be waiting for you.

Day 2: Today is spent travelling out to the islands. An orientation briefing will be held in the morning, followed by a fire and boat safety drill. We’ll keep you as busy as you like on this day with Manta 101 in the afternoon, then you will have a chance to prep your gear, read a book, relax on the sun deck or check out the movie selection on our onboard wifi. We will be watching for the “green flash” at sunset, and the bar will be open for alcoholic beverages. We should arrive at San Benedicto Island that evening allowing you a calm night to relax and get a restful sleep before the next morning’s excitement.

Day 3-9: Over seven full dive days, you will be able to experience some of our favourite sites such as El Canyon, the Boiler, Red Rocks, Roca Partida, Cabo Pearse, Punta Tosca, and Roca Oneal. We strive to offer an average of four dives a day, other than the day that we do our mandatory check-in at the local navy base, when you will likely have the option of three dives - plus our world-famous silky shark night snorkel. Note that several dives may be quite challenging and not suitable for divers of lower experience levels. The number of dives on offer is subject to weather, the whims of Mother Ocean, and crowding by other dive boats.

We will have other stuff going on to keep you as busy as you like with kayaks and paddleboards, shoreline tours, humpback whale watching (January to April), manta ID in the late afternoon, and after-dinner presentations. Of course, you can always find a nice quiet place to relax with a book, have a nice snooze, or soak in our sparkling clear hot tubs.

Day 10: We will likely get underway very early this morning for the voyage back to Cabo San Lucas. This is the perfect day to check out photos and videos with the new friends you made on board, pack your dive gear up and take time to relax before reality sets back in.

Day 11: Always a sad time for us. It’s time to say goodbye and disembark the boat in Cabo at 8.30am for either SJD airport or our dive centre in Cabo San Lucas.
