Mexico is such a diving Valhalla, that divers often tells us its a pity they have to travel quite far and ultimately choose one location in a country that offers so many. This is why we handcrafted a “best of the best” Socorro Magbay combo trip that offers the unique opportunity dive in both of these wildlife hotspots in one single travel. We lack space on this page to truly describe how special this one is.

The volcanic islands of Revillagigedo form a spectacular underwater theatre in the middle of the Pacific. Its most well known island Socorro, is a magnet for large pelagics such as its legendary oceanic manta’s, tons of sharks, dolphins and big schools of fish. It’s mysterious and humongous underwater rock formations are as spectacular as the animals that surround it. And if that was not enough, there is another HUGE plus: November in Socorro means a very decent shot at whale shark sightings!

The 50km long Magdalena Bay in Mexico’s Baja California is as wild, versatile and thrilling as Socorro, yet the animals encountered there are completely different. Each year in November, it is home to the second biggest sardine migration in the world, attracting big pelagic fish such as marlins and sea lions. The place is a whale hotspot as well, and has the famous mobula ray schools in its arsenal too. Important: due to the fast pace of the bait balls and mammals, the MagBay ocean safari's are snorkelling and freediving only!

A trip to Socorro across the Pacific requires a trustworthy and highly professional vessel. Rocio Del Mar is a top boat that cruises the Mexican waters year round and offers exquisite facilities and experienced crews. For the Magdalena Bay expedition, we rely on our top partners in the region, Latitude Encounters. Both operators are known to combine authenticity with extreme professionalism. You will not only enjoy, but learn from these experiences, trust us.

The chosen time slots are arguably the prime timings to be in both of these iconic dive destinations. It seems logical, but the logistics behind it are not always as easy as it seems. We are proud to have set up everything to connect the quality of the diving to the best possible timing of the year. It is what both our clients and these destinations deserve.

Both destinations have been the subject of our production team’s efforts in the last year. We dove in these areas extensively and were overwhelmed about the diversity in marine life, landscapes, the explorative nature of the diving. We really want other ocean enthusiasts to experience these thrills and spread the ocean message between their friends and family.
