ABOUT THE EXPEDITION
Join us on an unforgettable liveaboard expedition to the Revillagigedo Archipelago! The Socorro Islands are located approximately 540 kilometers south of Baja California, and benefit from being a fully protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. This stunning dive destination is often referred to as the «Galápagos of Mexico» due to its incredible biodiversity.
During this trip, you will have the opportunity to explore the three volcanic islands of Socorro, San Benedicto, and Roca Partida. Dive into crystal clear waters teeming with marine life, including one of the largest aggregations of sharks and oceanic manta rays in the world. The giant mantas are the main attraction. Watching these gentle giants feed is absolutely mesmerizing as they swoop around the volcanic backdrops. The dolphins are known to sometimes steal the show as they seem to enjoy interacting with divers. Keep your eyes peeled for hammerheads, humpback whales, tuna tiger sharks, silvertip sharks, octopus and many other marine species as you navigate the pristine waters surrounding these remote islands.
The liveaboard vessel is equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay including spacious cabins, delicious meals prepared by the onboard chef, and a dedicated dive deck for easy access to the stunning underwater world of the Revillagigedo archipelago.
Join the Apex Ocean Travel family and embark on an epic adventure with us to uncover the magic of mantas. Book your spot on our liveaboard expedition today and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
