Highlights
The 27m Rocio del Mar liveaboard cruises through to the iconic dive areas of the Socorro Islands, Sea of Cortez, and Baja California and accommodates 20 guests in 10 comfortable staterooms spread over two decks. It offers divers the choice of 3 itineraries, depending on the time of year. All the rooms have private air conditioning, carpets, windows, storage space, and en-suite bathrooms. Meals and snacks are served in the large dining area in the lower deck's forward part and are available throughout the day. Al fresco dining and vegan options are available too. The boat has many relaxation spots, but the sundeck/top deck or the upper deck salon are favorites among the guests. Rocio Del Mar also has a spacious dive deck for storing all diving gear and a camera table for avid photographers.
Scuba diving off the Rocio Del Mar in Mexican waters is a treat. Socorro Island is part of The Revillagigedo Islands, often called Mexico's "Little Galapagos." The itinerary includes diving at San Benedicto, Socorro, Roca Partida, and Clarion Islands. These islands are a magnet for some of the largest pelagic animals in the world, with schooling Hammerhead sharks that come in the hundreds during their migration. Tiger sharks, dolphins, silky sharks, Galapagos sharks, schools of jacks and barracuda, tuna, wahoo, oceanic white tips sharks, whale sharks, and mantas are some charismatic megafaunas that can be spotted here. All dives are led by experienced divemasters who are enthusiastic about sharing their underwater world, and the diving takes place from two pangas or skiffs.

Sea lions in the Sea of Cortez
The captain and crew were fantastic. My bag containing my dive gear was left at Heathrow by American Airlines but the crew and other guests rallied to ensure I had enough gear to continue with the trip. The captain even loaned me his own wetsuit. Fantastic trip.

The diving experience was superb, the dive guides were knowledgeable and friendly, the crew was very helpful.
The biggest highlights were definitely the variety of life we saw - oceanic mantas, dolphins, schools of hammerhead sharks, and don’t forget the whipper snappers! The crew was very friendly and helpful, happy to be on the boat with us. The food was fantastic and plentiful. All in all a wonderful trip I would repeat in a heartbeat.

Folicking Fun
The crew was excellent in helping us enjoy this wonderful ecosystem. When a superpod of common dolphins were close, after diving, they took us out in the Zodiaks (Pangas) to snorkle with them and see them up close. Great food, presented well with gracious accomodations for special diets. They were always courteous and kind, on the boat and in the water Also, sea lions

Unforgettable diving experience
We saw all kinds of shark species, dived often and long with dolphins and manta rays, got to know incredible dive sites like Roca Partida and saw three humpback whales underwater off Clarion Island. The Rocio del Mar is a great boat with that extra extra of stabilizers that make the long crossings very pleasant, an absolute plus over other boats. Food, team and guiding were perfect.

excellente
weather conditions were a bit rough (windy) but everything was still amazing! we did mulitple dives at the same sites due to rough conditions at other sites but i thought was still nice because you get to know the area better, and the wildlife still changes. saw dolphins, mantas, tons of sharks, school of hammerheads, octopus, even a humpback whale although i think its late in the season for that. would highly recommend and hope i get to do this trip again some day
