This was easily the best scuba trip I have yet been on
The scuba diving was amazing, the water was clear, the manta rays were everywhere, the crew could not have been nicer, The Dive Masters could not have been more professional and helpful.

More than excellent❗️
The VALENTINA is the best Dive Boat I have ever been on. The food was amazing. The dives were wonderful and the crew was more than excellent. The crew asked us if there was anything they could do to improve the trip. Not one single passenger could think anything! It was perfect!

The crew that goes the extra miles to ensure the trip meets your expectations
Diving with hammerhead, silvertip, whitetip and blacktip sharks as well as manta rays (occasionally encountering an elusive tiger shark). Watching from the boat humpback whales, mobula rays, silky sharks and dolphins. Amazing crew: cheerful, attentive, helpful, enthusiastic, passionate, who will try relentlessly, irrespective of the conditions, to deliver on the trip expectations keeping in mind safety and fun.

Fabulous Trip to Socorro on the Valentina
My friend Mary and I had a wonderful trip to Socorro aboard the Valentina. I was a bit nervous at first because I hadn't spoken to anyone who had first hand experience aboard the boat Valentina, but it had open dates for the week we wanted to go to Socorro and excellent reviews, so we went ahead and booked it. We are lucky we did because we couldn't have been any happier with our experience on the boat! From the moment we stepped on board the crew was so helpful and friendly and we immediately felt welcome. Our room was small (there are bigger ones available), but the beds were super comfy. I liked that the doors opened out to the deck. It was great taking post-dive afternoon naps with the door open and ocean breeze coming in. Our dive guides Lorenzo, Chabello, and Fernando made sure we saw all of the things Socorro is famous for. We were treated to dolphins, schooling hammerheads, tons of white tips, and of course, manta rays. The skiffs were easy to board and the crew was great about getting us on and off. For those who are curious, we boarded with our gear on and then took our gear off in the water when our dive was over to make it easier to climb back on. At the end of the trip Lorenzo had made a 20 minute movie of our trip that was available to download and take with us, which was an extra-special touch. The service we received on the boat was incredible. Luigi, our chef, made the most delicious dishes I've had on a liveaboard and his presentation made us feel like we were in a 5 star restaurant. There was so much delicious food it was impossible to eat it all! Juan Manuel was our bartender and made sure we always had the drinks we needed, and we bonded by talking about our cats at home! We had quite the diverse group of people on board with people from the UK, USA, Dubai, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Japan. It was fun to have such a global group of divers together.

A diver's dream
Excellent treatment by the diving crews and other members of the crew, very comfortable boat except for the arrangement of the beds in the bunk bed and a destination to fulfill the wishes of a diver, large pelagics and reefs full of life.

Great diving experience and staff but the boat needs updating
We had an incredible experience aboard the Valentina. The staff truly made the trip special. From the dive masters to the boat crew, everyone was friendly, professional, and always had a smile. They worked hard every day to make sure the experience was top-notch. The diving was outstanding. We saw an amazing variety of marine life, including rays, sharks, whale sharks, dolphins, octopus, and much more. Every dive felt memorable. The boat itself is a bit dated and could definitely benefit from modernization, but that did not take away from the overall experience. The crew, service, and diving more than made up for it. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would recommend the Valentina to anyone looking for a memorable liveaboard scuba adventure.
