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.

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.

Sea Lions and Whale Sharks
Best parts were diving and interacting with the sea lions. We also had a long snorkel with the Whale Sharks which was quite memorable. The crew was fantastic and food was very good too. In addition black coral forests were fantastic along with nudibranchs and other sea life. Overall an excellent trip.

Unbelievable amenities and crew!
The crew was very welcoming and seemed to work together seamlessly. They made sure you always had everything you needed. Dives were great, we got 22 completed by the end of the trip. Could see humpback whales from the boat, dove with dolphins, schooling hammerheads and countless manta rays who were very friendly. Trip of a lifetime!

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.
