Socorro
Explore the magic and wonder of Socorro Island aboard the luxury yacht Nautilus Belle Amie. See Whale Sharks, giant Mantas, schooling sharks, bait balls, dolphins, and much…much…more. Arriving in Cabo San Lucas on June 9th, relax on the 10th, join us on the 11th for a 2 tank dive & Margarita Madness with SeaCreatures Ocean Experiences! (Included with trip price.) We will board the yacht on the 12th after a relaxing “warm-up” dive at 3pm and set sail that evening.
Diving in Socorro Island is a pelagic lover’s paradise. As a lonely seamount far offshore, the island attracts a number of sociable species. Among them are large groups of giant manta rays (possibly the world’s friendliest) who love to swim beside you often less than a meter away.
Play an epic game of pelagic bingo while diving in Socorro Island. Wild bottlenose dolphins seek you out to join them in their antics. Rather than swim away at the sight of divers, these dolphins are known to approach you and remain for several minutes.
Watch humpback whales breach the surface, or nestle into boulders to observe seven shark species – including the whale shark. Strong currents make diving in Socorro suitable for advanced divers only, but the rewards are immense.
