Valentina for the win if you want to done Socorro!
I’ve done several and this one was excellent in all aspects. From the food to the service them the attentiveness of the staff the their attention when we had to get ready to dive, come up, and their specific attention to safety! This was a challenging trip from a diving perspective and they made sure we were fully prepared. The food was amazing! They provided lots of videos after the trip to keep us occupied on the boat trip back to shore. I’ll defensively use them again when I’m ready to do sea of Cortez!

Awesome Liveaboard Dive Experience
As a long time diver, this was by far one of my best liveaboard experiences. Socorro did not disappoint - we saw hundreds of dolphins, heard humpbacks in the water, played with dolphins in the water, followed schooling hammerheads, had frequent visits by black rays, silkys, Galápagos, white tips, silver tips and even had a tiger shark sighting. The dive guides, Lorenzo, Ciaobelo, and Fernando, were engaged and excited to share their love of Socorro and knowledge of the marine life. The entire boat crew made our time out of the water as enjoyable as our dives. The food was world class. Thanks to Luigi the chef for his hard work and talent. Juan, the bartender, was warm, hospitable, and funny and made a mean mango mezcalita amongst other delicious drinks. The dinghy drivers, Pariente and Pepe, were so attentive and good humored. And Jose, the captain and Daniel, the engineer run a fine ship. I truly felt part of the Valentina family and look forward to returning to Mexico someday soon.

The crew that goes the extra miles to ensure the trip meets your expectations
Diving with hammerhead, silvertip, whitetip and blacktip sharks as well as manta rays (occasionally encountering an elusive tiger shark). Watching from the boat humpback whales, mobula rays, silky sharks and dolphins. Amazing crew: cheerful, attentive, helpful, enthusiastic, passionate, who will try relentlessly, irrespective of the conditions, to deliver on the trip expectations keeping in mind safety and fun.

A wonderful trip. They must change the ship's electricity generator, it produces an unbearable noise and vibration even with earplugs.
I exceed my expectations in terms of the quantity and variety of marine life: oceanic mantas, sharks, dolphins and schools of fish.
