The day started with continental breakfast which always consists of absolutely delicious fresh breads and baked goods, fruit, cold cereal and oatmeal. After grabbing a cup of coffee and a quick bite, we attended a dive briefing, doned our wetsuits and […]

The songs of the humpbacks could be heard in the background while the mantas played… After our most beautiful and comfortable transit of the season from Cabo San Lucas to the Socorro Islands we arrived at our first destination for this expedition, Isla San Benedicto.

Today was the last day of this 8 day diving expedition to the one-of-a-kind Socorro Islands. We finished this trip with two days of diving at Roca Partida which is nothing more than the top 100 ft of a 11,000 ft underwater volcanic mountain. Not much to look at from the surface, an exposed rock not much bigger than […]
