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.

Great time on Rocio del Mar, they did a great job of taking care of us for Snorkeling!
Great job accommodating us for snorkeling. I was somewhat hesitant to book snorkeling (only) on dive boat. But, Rocio del Mar crew did great job accommodating us. We had snorkeling set up every day, with DM -- same schedule as scuba. Everything was top notch -- boats, staff, dive sites, etc. Highly recommended!!

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

Spectacular for manta rays
Incredible experiences with Manta Rays who, on one of our dives, visited each person by flying directly overhead - 2 or 3 feet hoping for a bubble tickle. Awesome. A friendly dolphin also enjoyed repeated stroking. A lifetime experience.

meeting with divers under water
21 dives at only 4 diving sites leads to always meet diving groups under water at the dive site. This encounters, that last up to 10, 15 minutes, takes precious diving time into meeting curtains of bubbles, flash lights and agitated, confused divers that mostly scares away the shy pelagics. Also being only boat at Roca Partida (where only 3 dives are permitted) we meet every dive with our other groups. This is a big pity bc the sites are incredibly filled with marine life. Curious Mantas will swim with you and many kind of different sharks will be around. Rocio takes 20 divers splitted in three groups. Their sister boat, Quino el Guardian, takes 15 divers. Don’t understand why they don’t manage at least not to be with their own two boats the same day at the same diving site? Having three or more boats at only one diving spot it’s just to much and it will not help to start diving in the cold dark water at 07:00 am in order to prevent under water diver meetings. Don’t understand why they don’t explore and offer more diving sites. Staff is incredibly hard working and very friendly!!’ Food is excellent, diverse and plenty! Logistics and cleanliness on board can be improved. 20 guests is a bit to much for the size of the boat, 14 will be perfect.
