First time on a liveaboard, and definitely the trip of a lifetime! From the thoughtful and caring service of the crew to the clean and spacious boat, and of course the highlight of the trip – diving with all the amazing creatures, it was a trip to remember! As relatively less experienced divers, the divemasters were ready to accommodate and help out in whatever way they could to make the diving as safe and enjoyable as possible. Swimming with multiple species of sharks, and mantas, and being surrounded by fish in a bait ball were the highlights of the trip and experiences which I will always remember.
Read MoreThis trip was a trip of a lifetime!!! We saw an endless supply of sharks, mantas, breaching whales, and even several dolphins. I’ve been around whales for quite some time, but I have never seen a breach, and we saw a mother-calf breach multiple times between our dives and even cruised by our skiff after one of the dive groups saw them underwater. We had such a JAWS-some experience.

Read MoreMy first liveaboard ever and I couldn’t have asked for a better first! I must admit the diving was more challenging than what I am used to but with the help of the amazing dive masters onboard I was able to get through. We saw dolphins, oceanic mantas, hammerheads, massive lobsters, Silvertips, silky sharks, a whale shark, white tips, black tips – you name it and we saw it.

Curious mantas were circling our group for what seemed like forever, playful dolphins swarming us and getting so close my wide-angle GoPro couldn’t keep up. A tiger shark at Canyon! Sure, there were dozens of Silvertips and some big Galapagos sharks, but when a tiger shows up, that’s all you can talk about. There’s no such thing as a quiet dive at Roca, but throw in a whale shark and a dozen dolphins and it’s hard to get out of the water.
Read MoreThis has been an amazing expedition, Tony and I have enjoyed the many challenges that have occurred (every day is a school day). We have enjoyed every dive and each has had its own unique experience. Our wives have vicariously through our pictures enjoyed the experience too.
Read MoreWell… It’s hard to find the right words to describe these massive feelings of I made a dream become reality. Before came here, we had some challenges to win. Dive the first time with sharks, 24 four trips to the dive site, and our first liveaboard. But now on the way back to Cabos I can say, it was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE! That easily can become two or three…
