Great diving experience and staff but the boat needs updating
We had an incredible experience aboard the Valentina. The staff truly made the trip special. From the dive masters to the boat crew, everyone was friendly, professional, and always had a smile. They worked hard every day to make sure the experience was top-notch. The diving was outstanding. We saw an amazing variety of marine life, including rays, sharks, whale sharks, dolphins, octopus, and much more. Every dive felt memorable. The boat itself is a bit dated and could definitely benefit from modernization, but that did not take away from the overall experience. The crew, service, and diving more than made up for it. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would recommend the Valentina to anyone looking for a memorable liveaboard scuba adventure.

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.

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

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 way to meet Sea Lions
I had never been diving with Sea Lions before. On a liveaboard we were able to do 4 dives on Las Ilotes and also saw Sea Lions on several other sites in the Sea of Cortez. It really exceeded my expectations.

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!
