Highlights
The M/V Solmar V liveaboard is a staple for diving in the Socorro Islands. With over 25 years of experience and known for having the most experienced dive liveaboard crew in Mexico, the Solmar V caters to 22 guests in 12 cabins. With recent refurbishing and massive upgrades, the SolmarV offers the choice of Staterooms, superior, standard, and single cabin options for solo travelers. Each stateroom features individual climate control, a private bathroom with a shower, a pillow-top mattress, non-allergenic down alternative pillows, and comforters. Superior cabins are located in the middle of the boat and are slightly larger. With its rich mahogany and granite tabletops, the salon provides comfortable seating, a large-screen television, and a full entertainment system. The solarium is partially covered with sun loungers for relaxing in between dives.
The Solmar V offers exciting dive itineraries with some of the world's giant pelagics, from Giant Mantas to whale sharks and humpback whales. The Revillagigedo Archipelago offers all the big-fish encounters a diver could wish for. With over 10 shark species, playful dolphins, and even the chance to dive with orcas, the Socorro Islands will deliver a dive trip to remember for a lifetime.

Extraordinary Cruise
The whale song at Rocca Partida remains memorable. The dolphin tour in San Benedicto was also magical. And let's not forget the all-black mantas and the hammerhead!

The place with the best interaction with marine animals
Even though the cabins are small, I felt very comfortable on the boat. The food was always spectacular. The treatment of the staff is always attentive and friendly. The place is a paradise, it was my second and I hope others more

Had an amazing time on the Solmar V
If you you want to see Sharks, Dolphins and Manta Rays Solmar V is the boat to go to. One of the best dives was playing with Manta Rays for a whole hour! We were so impressed we have re-booked for next year!

Amazing Boat and Crew!
The Solmar V is a lovely boat, it's small enough to be intimate and cosy but big enough that you always have enough space and never feel on top of other people. I've never know a crew as hardworking or friendly as the crew of the Solmar V, our Panga driver Coco was the friendliest guy you'll ever meet. The food was exceptional and they had the best selection of drinks I've had on any livaboard. The diving highlight for me was the Oceanic Manta, what a humbling experience being in the water with those gentle giants. I am already planning my return trip! Jenny, UK

Amazing encounters with dolphins, mantas and hammerheads.
The excellent food for all type of customers. The diversity of the dive sites and the under water live. Curious mantas and dolphins and hammerheads just above the bottom. Great fellow travellers from different parts of the world.

I expected more
Small boat for 22 people Clean cabins but very limited spaces to the point that if you put your clothes "in the closet" you have to sleep with life-saving jackets on the bed. Helpful and friendly crew Top sub guides Good food but a bit scarce especially between dives .
