10 Reasons to dive the Socorro Islands
1. You'll see BIG stuff!
Nutrient-rich ocean currents attract large marine life here. You're guaranteed to see manta rays, plenty of sharks, dolphins, possibly whales, schools of fish, and other large pelagics.
2. It's quiet
If you're looking for a way to "escape it all" this is the place for you! With the only way to see the Socorro Islands being a Liveaboard you'll be out of the hustle and bustle of staying in a town. Picture completely silent nights and no one else around you but your dive buddies.
3. Pure adventure
Do you live for fun and adventure? Look no further than the Socorro Islands! This diving can be a bit more advanced as there are currents, blue-water diving (no bottom to use as a reference), and the water can be chilly. But you will not experience a more thrilling place to dive!
4. Endless photo opportunities
The volcanic pinnacles are known to be Manta Ray cleaning stations so you are guaranteed up-close-and-personal encounters with these amazing birds of the sea. You'll be snapping photos so quickly you won't know what to do with them all!
5. 10 shark species
10, yes, 10 different shark species are known to be seen here! From whale sharks to oceanic white tips you'll see enough sharks on this trip to last you a lifetime.
6. Dolphins
Need we say more? The island known as Punta Tosca delivers them in spades. This alone is worth the trip out there.
7. Uncrowded
Looking to escape the crowds? Socorro is the place to be! With only a handful of liveaboards making the trip out there the divers are sparse. This may be the most uncrowded diving you'll ever experience.
8. Unique ecosystem
You'll be hard-pressed to find diving of this kind anywhere else in the world. This region is home to many rare and endemic plants and animal species. The ecosystem is so unique in fact, that this area was made a Bio Reserve in 1994 and, just recently, a World Heritage Site in 2016.
9. First class treatment
Since the Socorro Islands are so remote, diving via liveaboard is the only way to go. And with a liveaboard trip comes first class service. Enjoy leaving your gear at the back of the boat; all you have to do is throw your gear on and off for each dive. Don't worry about cooking a single meal as they are all provided for you.
10. Diving galore!
On a Socorro Island liveaboard trip, you will dive to your heart's content. Most boats run 3-4 dives per day!
