Socorro Island is a one day sail south of Cabo San Lucas, which is located at the southern end of Baja Mexico. We specialize in big animal diving at the cleaning stations of San Benedicto, Socorro, and Roca Partida. After an overnight voyage we arrive at these Jurassic Park-like islands and with a little luck from mother ocean will experience interactions with our giant mantas unlike anywhere else. The mantas of the Socorro Islands love divers, they love to swim with divers, love to feel our bubbles hitting their bellies and then they quiver with excitement. Socorro is also home to humpback whales, dolphins and up to 10 types of sharks. Please visit the Socorro Island page for details, photos, wildlife calendar and more. You can see giant mantas in many places around the world. But nowhere else boasts a population of giant mantas that literally seek out interaction with divers and snorkelers. While mantas are the main reason to voyage out to Socorro, there are lots of other animals to see, including schooling hammerheads and silky sharks, plus 10 other species of sharks, bottlenose dolphins that consistently hang out with divers at certain dive sites, large schools of pelagic fish, and, in season, humpback whales. Cost: 3670.00 per person double occupancy standard room, $4588.00 single occupancy standard room, $4195.00 per person double occupancy superior room. * these are 2021 pricing and may increase slightly 2022 *Not included items that you pay onboard:  Estimated airfare to Cabo (budget $800-$1200 pp), airport transfers (Sealine Cabo transfers, budget $50-100 pp), hotel room in Cabo the night before departure (04-05Dec), $30 port fee, park fee ($75/dive day x 5 = $375 pp), nitrox (budget $100), alcohol, crew gratuities (suggested $250.00-$300.00), dive rental equipment, dive insurance (mandatory) or travel insurance.  Guests need to be at See Creatures by 4 pm on the day of boarding for liveaboard trips.
