Dive Socorro Islands by Liveaboard

The Socorro Islands offer a once in a lifetime diving experience.

The Socorro islands are located 240 miles (390 kilometers) off the Baja Peninsula, the four Revillagigedo Islands offer some of the best diving in Mexico. Of these, Socorro Island is the most famous. It’s so well-known that often the group of islands is referred to as Socorro Islands rather than its proper name, the Revillagigedo Islands. Advanced divers flock to remote Socorro Island and its neighbors for fantastic encounters with a plethora of pelagic species.

All diving at Socorro Island is carried out by liveaboard. These vessels depart from Cabo San Lucas and generally spend about a week around the this island and its neighbors. It takes approximately 24 hours to reach this remote destination from the mainland.

It’s also important to note that diving at Socorro Island should not be attempted by novice divers. The currents are strong and unpredictable, relegating this to advanced divers only.
