No Comments on False Killer Whales, Tiger Sharks and Whale Sharks at Socorro

Schooling hammerheads at Punta Tosca, a Tiger shark at Roca O’Neal, 8 Giant Mantas in one dive at the Boiler and an awesome surprise at Roca Partida when a pod of about 60 False Killer Whales swam by the Explorer.

We had hundreds of dolphins riding and jumping off the bow as they escorted us to Socorro Island.
