Valentina for the win if you want to done Socorro!
I’ve done several and this one was excellent in all aspects. From the food to the service them the attentiveness of the staff the their attention when we had to get ready to dive, come up, and their specific attention to safety! This was a challenging trip from a diving perspective and they made sure we were fully prepared. The food was amazing! They provided lots of videos after the trip to keep us occupied on the boat trip back to shore. I’ll defensively use them again when I’m ready to do sea of Cortez!

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.

One of the best liveaboards out there …
The diving is out of this world, every dive was great and the dive guides gave you enough freedom underwater to enjoy your diving whilst keeping it safe. The wildlife is exceptionally beautiful, both above and below the water, the Sea of Cortez is incredibly rich and diverse and is a must experience for everyone to experience.

- The operation is superbly managed, the organisation on the boat is fantastic. The food is excellent for a liveaboard, the crew are very helpful and professional and the boat is clean and well maintained.
