Best diving I’ve ever done.
The diving! I don’t have comments on the food or the boat because the diving was great and that’s what I was there for. The crew was great though. Always very helpful.

A spectacular experience
My absolut highlight was the night dive where we got to watch mobula rays and puffer fish. I have also enjoyed the sea lions, the hammerhead sharks and the schools of sardines. But more than anything the staff made this trip truly memorable.

Lorenzo´s crew are great, great, great!
Conditions are fine, did not rain, but visibility underwater was not ideal. We were very happy with the atmosphere on the boat, the crew was fantastic. Fernanda is incredibly hardworking and she smiles all day.

Cabines pouco confortáveis
Muitas mantas nos mergulhos. Fauna não muito variada.

J'ai été très heureuse de faire cette belle croisière, le Valentiné est bien agencé pour les plongeurs, les cabines sont très belles, les repas excellents, le staff super gentil et respectueux.
Tout était parfait, le Valentina, le staff, les repas, les plongées et l'ambiance.

Socorro une ile avec encore des poissons dauphins , raies matas , requins divers ...
36 heures de bateaux pour atteindre les iles Socorro. un peu long , car le bateau Valentinas ne va pas très vite par rapport aux autres bateaux. en novembre , eau à 25 et 26 degrés , soleil. très belles plongées sur trois iles différentes , rencontre avec le dauphins, raies mantas , requins marteaux , galapagos, ... Bateau un peu vieillot , dont le moteur fait beaucoup de bruit et de fumée, même la nuit au mouillage ! l'avantage c'est de pouvoir ouvrir les portes et fenêtre des cabine , donc pas besoin de mettre la clim. Bons repas variés tous les jours , un verre de vin gratuit au diner , bières locales gratuites. Guides de plongées sympas , mais le grand défaut , c'est de plonger 7 fois sur le même site et 6 fois sur un autre , le bateau et l'équipage aurait pu faire l'effort de changer d'endroit . Le nitrox et la location de grosses bouteilles devrait être inclus dans le prix déjà élevé de 3300 US Dollars plus 450 de taxes de réserve , de 120 de surcharge de fuel , de 15 pour le caisson, plus 15 à 20 % de pourboire.

leider keine haie aber eine tolle tauchsafari auf einem excellenten boot
wie oben beschrieben war der gesamteindruck der " valentina " einfach super , unterwasser fehlten etwas die grossfische insbesondere haie aber dafür waren die tauchgänge mit den seelöwen ein absolutes highlight
