This is my 3rd trip to the Socorro Islands and my first time on the Belle Amie. The diving is ALWAYS exciting here and the giant mantas bring me back every time. The interaction with these giant beauties is a thrill each and every time. They kept showing up at almost every dive site to play and show off their graceful dance with us, and making eye contact. As many as 7-8 at one time. Also, sharks, tuna, dolphins and on and on. Of 5 live a board experiences, this is by far the most luxurious. The cabins are quite roomy with the most comfy bed I have ever slept on aboard a
boat. Lots of room on dive deck with timed separate departure so is organized and not
over crowded. Upper deck with lounge chairs is lovely, but could use some cushions for comfort. Dive masters are superb and patient if you require any extra assistance. Very knowledgeable about the dive sites visited. From the Captain to the skiff drivers, engineer, deck hands and kitchen staff, they all did a really great job. Always friendly and there for anything you require.
You will enjoy the food and home made cookies and snacks. I am planning my next trip for January or February 2017 during whale season. Set the bar high and book a trip on this first class live a board, you will not be disappointed. Favorite dive site as usual is Roca Pardita!
