Beyond my wildest dreams!
OMG, is such an understatement! I just returned from diving in the Revillagigedo Archipelago aboard the Solmar V. Beyond my wildest dreams! This was SCUBA, that I grew up watching Jaques Cousteau dive. Beautiful Giant Pacific Manta Rays on almost every dive. Schools of Hammerhead Sharks. Playful Bottlenose Dolphins. World class diving. The Divemasters! Mariana Danny & Servando were the best. Under the water and above. Such hard working fabulous folks. The whole crew was great. The stewards, Idris & Dani were everywhere! Hot tea, hot chocolate after dives, fabulous & attentive. Oue chef, Claudia was a rock star. I like GOOD food, hers is the best! All day, everyday. Four of us celebrated birthdays while on board. She made special birthday celebration deserts for each. The Captain Armando, always available for information or a hand betting up from the banga boat after your dive. I could go on and on about each crew member. I will never forget them. I absolutely need to thank Luis! Helping haul my waterlogged self, back into the banga after EVERY dive, thank you sir! What about the other divers! 20 other divers from all over the world, such wonderful, beautiful people. I deal with significant hearing difficulties and everyone, guests and crew were the best, patient and took time to sincerely chat with me. Thank you ALL for helping fulfill a lifelong dream. Love you all. Pete

Batman under water
Visability and weather wasnt the best (it seems to be a windy place), neither did we get to see the huge groups of Hammerheads. However, this was a very good trip. The boat is comfortable (we only had 17 divers, it might be a bit more of a squeeze on a full boat), the decor is almost like a cocktail bar on the waves, think of walking into “Cheers”. I had a cabin to myself, with the most comfortable bed Ive ever had on a boat. Constant hot water and drinking water through out the boat were all very welcome. I liked the amount of space on the dive deck, plenty of room to spread out. The dive guides (Diego, Ivan & Nacho) were very enthusiastic & knowledgeable of the location and how to get the best from it. These are not pretty dives, not much here in the way of colourful reef fish or macro (at least on my visit), but, that didn't matter for me. The Mantas were amazing and engaging. I particularly liked the Black Manta’s…like Batman underwater. We also had a great session snorkelling with False Killer Whales. The rest of the crew were faultless, all very helpful, enthusiastic and cheery. Service was faultless. Probably the best ive been on for a while.

Fabulous trip
I had a fantastic time! The crew worked really hard to make sure we had a comfortable trip. My highlight was the safari where we went looking for creatures and got to snorkel with the Mobula migration. Cabo Pulmo was also excellent!

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

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!
