Best all round experience
The boat itself was very comfortable, but what stands out the most is the amazing wildlife, it was the best diving of my life. Also the crew was super friendly and professional. Francisca, Lorenzo and David were great. In addition, the food was the best i’ve ever had on a boat, shoutout to the chefs

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.

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.

Amazing diving and crew!
We had a wonderful time on our trip in May 2022... the seas were a little rough that time of year but the boat handled it like a champ! We had the nicest crew who were always there to help with our gear or bring us hot drinks after our dives. the food was amaing and we never went hungry! And best of all were the hammerhead sharks, dolphins (and two babies!) and Manta rays... allong with all the other sharks and sea life!!! It was the trip of a lifetime - thank you!

The Crew Makes This Amazing
The crew made this trip. From the welcome at the airport to the tiny little things like hot tea after a cold final dive of the afternoon, everyone on board and underwater kept us safe, fed, and entertained. The cabins need a little updating, but the dive deck is perfectly configured to accommodate multiple dives and all the gear they goes with. We had amazing shark (8 kinds) and manta interactions, and had learning experiences to make us stronger/better divers along the way. The captains in the dive dinghies were a godsend, always having a sense of where we were, and making transfers safe and routine. The crew of MV Valentina is top notch!

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.

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
