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.

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.

Sea of Cortez - Amazing experience with a great crew!
I spent six days on the Valentina diving the Sea of Cortez in mid-November. We departed and disembarked from La Paz. Although there is an airport in La Paz, flights are more readily available into Cabo SJD. La Paz is a two hour drive from the Cabo airport. The Valentina is 130 feet long and was last refit in 2013. The cabins are individually AC controlled with ensuite bathrooms. The public areas are comfortable. The food was superb and plentiful. The crew from the captain to the stewards was awesome. Very attentive to passenger needs both while diving and onboard the ship. The diving was great! Dives are conducted from zodiacs. The highlight was the sea lions at Los Islotes. Their playfulness and love for interacting with divers is legendary. We also encountered schools of Mexican Barracuda , Sardines and one group (6) Scalloped Hammerheads. We did two night dives with Mobula Rays in the same bay in about 20 feet of water. Lights are used to attract the plankton which brings in the Mobula.

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.

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!
