Socorro Giant Manta Ray Dive Liveaboards


Socorro Island is the largest island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago Biosphere Reserve which is famous worldwide for its Giant Manta Rays (Mobula birostris). These gentle marine giants can reach up to 7 metres in span and have become increasingly interactive around divers over the past twenty years.

On these dive liveaboard trips we plan to visit the islands of Socorro, San Benedicto and Roca Partida. With their steep drop offs and upwelling currents, these islands are a magnet for manta rays, sharks and other marine life. The islands are also visited by majestic humpback whales which visit the islands to breed and calve. If you are lucky you may catch sight of them not only above the water but also when diving.

Dive liveaboard is the only way to see these islands, not just because you need a self-sufficient floating unit to move between dive sites, but because there are no flights to these islands. To get there, you need to join the boat at Cabo San Lucas on San Jose del Cabo on the Mexican Baja California Peninsula. The 240 mile voyage to the islands is a great marine life opportunity in itself, providing you with a peaceful sense of open ocean wilderness and chances to see whales and dolphins above the water.

The mid ocean sight of Socorro is of a dramatic volcanic mountain standing thousands of metres above the seabed. Its peak is a perfectly shaped cone and the land beneath a combination of hardened lava and sparse but rare vegetation. There is a surprising diversity of life here including endemic plants and species of bird. The only people permitted onto the island are those stationed at the Mexican naval garrison and their families who live on these remote islands with them. Their lives are a far cry from Mexico City.

From Socorro, our next port of call will be either San Benedicto Island or Roca Partida Island. San Benedicto is much smaller than Socorro but attracts a greater variety of pelagic life. Underwater sightings may include tiger sharks, whale sharks and humpback whales - but it is best known as one of the prime locations anywhere to see giant manta rays as they glide gracefully around you at the island's cleaner stations. The island of San Benedicto is still volcanically active and has a large lava delta pushing its way out into the Pacific from the south west part of the island.

Weather dependent, we may also visit the tiny island of Roca Partida. It is only 92m from end to end but harbours a large variety of shark species including white tip sharks, Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, giant manta rays and even an occasional whale shark. You may also encounter some of the playful bottle nosed dolphins that inhabit the area as well as migrating humpback whales. At a depth of 12 metres there are underwater caves where you can find groups of sleeping white tip reef sharks.

If you have time to see more of Mexico or other parts of Latin America such as Belize, Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos, Aqua-Firma is a specialist at helping you to do this. Please Contact Us to discuss the possibilities.

Diving Experience

Beginner to intermediate. All dives will be assisted by a divemaster. Skiff pick-ups will be available on all dives. Descent and ascent line provided on all dives except at Roca Partida due to the extreme depth.

Itinerary

Itinerary Notes

These are draft itineraries for each of the liveaboard options, which may be subject to change without notice. We offer airport transfers and a small range of carefully chosen hotels and larger resorts in Los Cabos (San Jose del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas and the beachfront inbetween which is known as the Touristic Corridor) for both before and after your voyage.

We strongly recommend that you plan to arrive 2 days before your liveaboard departs to mitigate against potential flight and luggage delays. You can fly home on the day of disembarkation, but please plan on a late afternoon / evening flight to mitigate against potential delays in crossing back from the Socorro Islands.

The main areas that you will plan to visit are:

San Benedicto Island
San Benedicto Island is the third largest in the Revilla Gigedo group at about 2.6 miles long. It has two prominent peaks, one that is very obviously a volcanic crater. The area is renowned for its schooling hammerhead sharks, silver tip, silky, Galapagos and even occasionally Tiger sharks. Its most rewarding encounters can be with the Giant Pacific Manta Rays (Manta birostris).

One of the best dive sites here is “the Boiler”, a large pinnacle that reaches from the depths to within several feet of the surface. It is small enough to swim around several times in one dive, but is large enough to be a favourite gathering point, attracting marine life from miles around. What makes this site so magical is the congregation of very friendly Giant Pacific Mantas. They have been known to greet divers even before they get into the water and swim with you all day.

Roca Partida
Roca Partida is a small pinnacle located west of Socorro and San Benedicto. This stony pillar is known to attract pelagics and large schools of jacks and tuna. Beneath the surface the wall drops straight down to deep water. There are many shelves and ridges that give refuge to the animals that hide there.

Depending on the current, it is possible to swim around the pinnacle several times in the course of one dive. Other times divers prefer to just hang out in one area and watch the pelagics swim by. Guests have spotted schools of hammerheads, whitetip sharks, Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, giant manta rays, dolphins, an occasional whaleshark and even humpback whales here.

Socorro Island
Socorro is about 30 miles south of San Benedicto. The island is about 10 miles by 9 miles in size and is home to the Mexican Naval Station since 1957 where you will check-in before diving. In the centre of the island rises volcanic Mt. Evermann, who’s top is 1130 meters above sea level. Dive sites here include the Aquarium, Punta Tosca and Cabo Pearce.

Please note that any liveaboard voyage may be subject to change without notice according to sea conditions, national park rules, military exercises which may put some of the dive sites off limits, or improvements in response to opportunities to see the best marine life.
