Mexico is open. Flights into Cabo San Lucas are open. Socorro Island, the Sea of Cortez and San Ignacio Lagoon are open. We are open and operating with caution during the virus crisis.
Our approach has been collaborative with government including parks, port captain and the Mexican navy. We have heavily invested in crew training, equipment and measures to keep everyone onboard as safe as possible which includes the development of a 60 page virus protocol document that we have trained on and shared with government officials along with our ideas on processes and procedures. That type of thinking and understanding of our commitment to everyone’s safety is what led to the decision of the local port captain to issue our departure clearances.
Our guests can expect that life onboard is different than it was before on many levels. But we still want to have fun and go diving!! Our top priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy. Please call or email for more detailed information.
Take care
