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!

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!

Amazing . Everyone need to do this at least once
To see my favorite shark of all time. They are so amazing and so misunderstood. The other great part was about 2 hours out to sea the captain got a call from another boat that there was a humpback whale with a buoy and fishing line tangled around the pectoral fins. Since the boat has a panga they put it in the water with 2 of the dive masters from our boat picked up a diver from the other boat and they were able to untangle the humpback. The best show of true compassion these guys have for all of the creatures of the sea. Will be back!!

If you're up for some pretty hard core diving, it's a fantastic way to get close to these big animals.
Really well organised trip, and very smooth on the diving front despite number of divers on a relatively small boat. The dive guides are crew are incredibly hard working (actually I would say over-worked), but always up for a laugh and a friendly smile. Briefings were very good, and the talks on mantas, shark identification, and conservation efforts (including Clarion angelfish) were excellent. But of course the highlights were the close encounters with giant mantas, sharks and dolphins.

- Awesome close encounters with mantas, sharks, dolphins. Really friendly and helpful dive guides and crew members. Good food, and plenty of it; and nice touches like hot drinks after each dive.
