Trip Dates: April 24 - May 2, 2026
In the vast, untamed Pacific, there exists a place so stunning, so untouched by time, that it feels like an entirely different world—Socorro. This extraordinary archipelago is not just a destination; it’s an experience that immerses you in the raw beauty of nature, where every dive feels like an encounter with the divine.
The remote beauty of Socorro is unmatched, offering a pristine, untouched underwater world teeming with life. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and national park, this archipelago remains tightly protected, ensuring a one-of-a-kind experience for the lucky few who venture here.
Known for its super-friendly and interactive giant mantas, Socorro offers an underwater realm where the extraordinary becomes reality. Imagine diving alongside 12 different species of sharks, and playful bottlenose dolphins competing with the mantas to steal the spotlight with their curious antics.
Diving Socorro is the kind of experience every diver dreams of—and it absolutely deserves a top spot on your bucket list!
We're on the flagship vessel featuring an all new super-large dive deck and water level platform combined with picture windows around the main salon and separate dining room.
We love the Explorer and she looks fantastic with her recent stretch to 132 feet in length, new air conditioning and interior updates.
