Highlights
The 27m Rocio del Mar liveaboard cruises through to the iconic dive areas of the Socorro Islands, Sea of Cortez, and Baja California and accommodates 20 guests in 10 comfortable staterooms spread over two decks. It offers divers the choice of 3 itineraries, depending on the time of year. All the rooms have private air conditioning, carpets, windows, storage space, and en-suite bathrooms. Meals and snacks are served in the large dining area in the lower deck's forward part and are available throughout the day. Al fresco dining and vegan options are available too. The boat has many relaxation spots, but the sundeck/top deck or the upper deck salon are favorites among the guests. Rocio Del Mar also has a spacious dive deck for storing all diving gear and a camera table for avid photographers.
Scuba diving off the Rocio Del Mar in Mexican waters is a treat. Socorro Island is part of The Revillagigedo Islands, often called Mexico's "Little Galapagos." The itinerary includes diving at San Benedicto, Socorro, Roca Partida, and Clarion Islands. These islands are a magnet for some of the largest pelagic animals in the world, with schooling Hammerhead sharks that come in the hundreds during their migration. Tiger sharks, dolphins, silky sharks, Galapagos sharks, schools of jacks and barracuda, tuna, wahoo, oceanic white tips sharks, whale sharks, and mantas are some charismatic megafaunas that can be spotted here. All dives are led by experienced divemasters who are enthusiastic about sharing their underwater world, and the diving takes place from two pangas or skiffs.

Great diving and crew.
We had a terrific time. The crew and dive masters were super friendly and helpful and really made the trip special. The food is quite good, freshly made, and nicely served. Dive trips are well organized, though some freedom to manage our own profile would be welcome. The boat is nicely laid out, but it a little dated and some refurbishment is needed.

Sea lions in the Sea of Cortez
The captain and crew were fantastic. My bag containing my dive gear was left at Heathrow by American Airlines but the crew and other guests rallied to ensure I had enough gear to continue with the trip. The captain even loaned me his own wetsuit. Fantastic trip.

Best live-aboard I've ever done
Exactly as mentioned above, the diving was incredible in the Socorro islands, the food on the boat was truly impressive, and the dive masters and support crew went above and beyond to help with gear, logistics, etc.

excellente
weather conditions were a bit rough (windy) but everything was still amazing! we did mulitple dives at the same sites due to rough conditions at other sites but i thought was still nice because you get to know the area better, and the wildlife still changes. saw dolphins, mantas, tons of sharks, school of hammerheads, octopus, even a humpback whale although i think its late in the season for that. would highly recommend and hope i get to do this trip again some day

Mantas, sharks and dolphins
This trip was a great experience. Together with many very nice people from all over the world, watching the big fish of the Socorro Islands up close was fascinating.
