The best diving we have ever had. Even a little better than the Maldives.
We had a great time with an experienced and safety oriented crew. With only 13 guests are every need was met. Food was more than adequate. Not gourmet but very adequeate. The diving was 1 step better than the Maldives and the boat was one step below the Scubaspa Yang. The Sacorro Vortex was substantially more money than the Scubaspa Yang we were not dissapointed with the experience. The diving was spectacular.

fantastic company to dive with
Just got home yesterday from the maiden voyage of the SOCORRO VORTEX! What a boat she was...beautiful, comfortable, and fast! She is very well equipped and complemented with an extremely professional, friendly and personable crew. I had a very memorable 8 days trip to the REVILLAGEDO ARCHIPELAGOS where I completed 19 dives in total. Got some great interactions and fantastic closeup pics of giant mantas, dolphins, hammerheads, and an enormous school of Jacks amongst the highlights. Even saw humpbacks on the surface, however was unable to get up close enough to dive with. I have been diving for 30+ years and have 1200+ dives and have been a guest aboard about a half dozen liveaboards and the SOCORRO VORTEX ranks right up there at the top. Not only with the comfort and the luxurious cabins, but the layout was extremely diver friendly. With separate personal indoor photographic and electronic work stations you never had to wait for space like on a shared camera table. Each station equipped with it's own 110 v power supply. Two pengas or zodiacs shuttle you to and from dive sites from the mother ship. Guest numbers is 14 total so there is always plenty of room aboard the VORTEX as she is 140 feet long! The top deck is a huge open sun deck, with a large jacuzzi hot tub and comfy lounge chairs for relaxing during your surface intervals. Overall to sum it up the people at PELAGIC FLEET placed a lot of time and effort to put out the best ship possible to provide the most demanding diver with the ship that allows you to be pampered, and to be surrounded with all the creature comforts to make all your dives on your vacation to be as easy as possible. Everything about the VORTEX is top shelf from the ship, amenities, food, and the crew. Last, but not least the VORTEX is a fast boat which means less travel time and more enjoyment time. Our crossing to the archipelagos took approximately 16 hours shaving approximately 9 hours off the average crossing time of 25 hours!
