Socorro Dive Trip
Embark from Cabo San Lucas for a group trip to Socorro. Socorro and the Revillagigedo Archipelago are 235 miles from Cabo San Lucas. It is like an oasis in the Pacific Ocean. This island, well known for its giant oceanic manta rays, is a destination for lovers of all big marine life. It takes ~24 hours to reach the islands; therefore, it must be done by a liveaboard. Diving it in November is magical when the water is still blue and warm. It’s one of my favorite dive destinations, and I can’t wait to go back!
Essential Experiences
San Ignacio Lagoon Gray Whales
Looking for an up close and personal whale experience? This 4-day/3-night glamping trip to see the most majestic whales in San Ignacio is for you. This is the most amazing and spectacular whale interaction with humans. Phenomenal, extraordinary, mind-shattering. How do you even begin to describe the experience of a giant 40-foot-long whale swimming right up to your boat, looking you in the eye, and communicating that they want you to put your hand in the water so that they can push up against it to get stroked? This is NOT a dive trip, and it is suitable for everyone and can easily be set up for small groups.
Essential Experiences
Mobula & Megafauna Expedition
Every year, thousands of Mobula Munkiana, or Monk’s Rays, congregate and travel along the coast of the Sea of Cortez, sometimes in the thousands. The Mobula are elusive and magnificent creatures, and very little is known about them. On this expedition, you are out in the open ocean where anything can happen, and you will have the opportunity to encounter ocean wildlife, such as super pods of dolphins, whale sharks, whales, sea lions, and even Orcas. This is a snorkel/freediver trip, not a scuba dive.
