Well, another Socorro scuba diving adventure is over. We were bumping home in unseasonable 7 foot seas overnight but it is moderating now and I expect it to be quite calm by this afternoon. It was certainly an interesting trip. The last dive day was particularly provocative. Despite a slow start to the trip with poor visibility on dive day 1, I believe that everyone really enjoyed the diving and the experience. Some guests are already asking us if we have any open dates for Socorro 2009 so we must have done something right!

It’s always a bit of a funny feeling to be on our little 116ft steel island, surrounded by ocean, without land or any other boats in sight. This is one deserted stretch of ocean and on a number of our transits from Baja California to San Benedicto Island, we have steamed for 24 hours without seeing another vessel. It’s like another world out here.
