What you can expect

Join us on our big fish expedition to the Revillagigedo Archipelago in Mexico. Socorro Island and the rest of the Revillagigedo Archipelago are famous not only for large numbers of oceanic giant manta rays, but also for encounters with more than 10 different species of sharks. We will also have the chance to dive with bottle-nosed dolphins.

Our Freediving Liveaboard Trip starts in Mexico, Baja California, at the port of Cabo San Lucas, from where we will head directly to the Revillagigedo Archipelago for 9 days in search of great wildlife encounters, making this trip a once in a lifetime experience. We will visit at least three of the islands in the archipelago – Socorro, San Benedicto & Roca Partida.

Giant manta rays can be seen in many places around the world. But nowhere else a population of giant oceanic manta rays (including the black morph) that literally seek interaction with freedivers.

You will love it! While for many manta rays are the main reason to travel to Socorro, there is much more to big animals to see – We promise! Socorro is known for its abundance of sharks and the large number of shark species that can be encountered there (some in large numbers, others are more rare). We can dive on Socorro with the following sharks: Whitetip Reef Sharks, Silky Sharks, Galapagos Sharks, Deep Sea Sharks, Silvertip Sharks, Hammerheads, Oceanic Whitetip Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Whale Sharks …

Dolphin groups are very common in the Revillagigedo Archipelago and it is not uncommon to see them as soon as our ship arrives. As with the giant oceanic manta rays, it is also possible to have a unique interaction with a group of bottlenose dolphins. Many divers find that they are accompanied by the friendly squeals and clicks of these playful mammals, even when they are not directly in sight.

Although the above animals are certainly the highlights for most of us, there are many more different types of fish to see and encounter – we promise! We have three scheduled free dives per day – but if there’s something going on in the water, we’ll be sure to go back in!
