Big fish and steep walls in the Pacific
Manta rays, impressive drop-offs, dolphins and a whale shark encounter - all in all, a great diving experience. The Revillagigedo Islands (Socorro) give the impression of unspoilt nature - a jewel in the Pacific.

A genuine 5 star liveaboard !
Third time on this liveaboard and it’s a brilliant boat, super slick operation, very customer focused on giving you the best possible experience. My only finicky thing I would improve is the dive time seemed sometimes short. I think 60 minutes is reasonable rather than the 40 - 45 minutes.

Amazing food and crew, but dives were repetitive and the boat needs an upgrade
The highlights: - The food was absolutely amazing, with meals served on proper plates. - The crew was very friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. - The dive deck was well organized, and the panga drivers did a great job. - Visibility was excellent. The downsides: - The boat is in need of a refresh. The cabins are old and small, and our AC leaked throughout the entire trip. - There is limited space to relax between dives, with only one small couch in the dining area and another small couch in the shaded outdoor area. As a result, you end up spending quite a bit of time in your cabin. - We also had to pay a fuel surcharge that was not mentioned in the Sea of Cortez trip description. - The description mentioned whale sharks towards the end of the trip, but this was never part of the actual itinerary. Diving in October: Visibility was great, but in October, the diving was mainly focused on sea lions, with not many other encounters.

The trip was super fun with a great crew and a great variety of guests from around the world. We dove in many different areas and enjoyed stunning topside scenery in between dives.

The experiences of the safari, especially the sea lions, will remain unforgettable.
Diving with playful sea lions and a rich marine life with large schools of barracuda and green trevally ("cocineros").There is also a lot to discover in the macro area.
- Recommended for
- The competent and attentive crew. Relaxed atmosphere on board with plenty of space to read, sunbathe and chat between dives. The dive sites were varied and attractive.

Phenomenal trip all around!
This was our first liveaboard and it was absolutely incredible. The crew is beyond accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable!! The food was outstanding; we were not expecting to have such incredible meals and drinks! Our cabin was great, nothing crazy, but did have excellent AC and water pressure! The crew would clean and make beds every morning! Everyone was so good about checking in on us. The dive sites made the trip!! We had mantas swimming over us, playful seals, octopus, schools of hammerheads, beautiful corals, nudibranchs and so much more! We also did a few wrecks and a night dive which we loved! DMs were attentive and fun! They took care of our gear for us after every dive. We also had flight and luggage issues and the Fun Baja team was extremely communicative and accommodating. I would highly recommend to anyone!
