This was easily the best scuba trip I have yet been on
The scuba diving was amazing, the water was clear, the manta rays were everywhere, the crew could not have been nicer, The Dive Masters could not have been more professional and helpful.

Incredible Dives, Amazing Crew – A Perfect Liveaboard Experience!
Our dive trip aboard the Valentina Liveaboard was truly unforgettable! The underwater world was absolutely breathtaking—we saw everything we had hoped for and more. From a humpback whale during our dives to giant mantas that came incredibly close, along with countless sharks, hammerheads, and an abundance of marine life, every dive was spectacular. The dive guides went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. They were knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure we got the most out of every dive. The entire crew was outstanding—caring, friendly, and always ready to help, whether it was dealing with seasickness, making sure we were well-fed, or assisting with anything we needed. Speaking of food, the chef was amazing! As vegetarians, we were delighted by the creative and delicious meals—we never felt like we were missing out. Cabins were comfortable, with private bathrooms and hot showers—a must after a long day of diving! Overall, this trip exceeded our expectations, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible liveaboard experience. 10/10, would do it again!

Great experience!
Great trip in the Sea of Cortez. Can'y say enough about the crew, a great bunch of people, who also helped me with an emergency, with complete professionalism. I want to thank them all for all of their help, and the owner Enrique, who jumped in and gave his time towards seeing me back to the boat. I highly recommend going on this trip, an all around terrific experience.

World-class diving with an experienced liveaboard crew
Overall it was a wonderful trip with highlights including close-up encounters with dolphins, oceanic mantas on most dives and lots of sharks (Scalloped hammerheads, Galapagos, Silky, Silver tips, Oceanic black tips, and 1 whale shark). Some of the dive sites were stunning, with Roca Partida being the most spectacular of them all

Unfortunately no sharks but a great liveaboard on an excellent boat
As described above, the overall impression of the "Valentina" was just great, underwater the big fish especially sharks were missing but the dives with the sea lions were an absolute highlight

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.
