The Revillagigedo Archipelago consists of a group of four volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean, known for their unique ecosystem. The islands are home to many endemic species of plants and animals. Socorro Island is the most diverse in terms of flora, fauna, and topography. The islands are located 250 miles off the southern coast of Baja California. The only way to reach this remote paradise is by boat—a 10-day, 9-night liveaboard trip with 6 days of diving, during which we plan to dive at the islands of San Benedicto, Socorro, and Roca Partida.These islands are a spectacular magnet for the world’s largest pelagic ocean animals. The animals include hammerhead sharks, tiger sharks, very friendly dolphins, silky sharks, Galápagos sharks, schools of horse mackerel and barracuda, tuna, wahoos, whitetip sharks, and, of course, the giant manta rays that have become Revillagigedo’s main attraction!We will travel aboard the M/V Valentina, a boat that offers all the amenities we need for our stay and all the necessary safety equipment.
