An unforgettable trip of a lifetime
An absolutely amazing trip to the Revillagigedo Islands / Socorro. Absolutely everything was perfect about the trip. The crew was especially amazing and every one of them made sure we had anything and everything we needed at all times and fostered a fun friendly environment on board. The guides were knowledgeable and worked hard to make the most of each dive while ensuring the safety of all divers. The rental equipment was in good condition and the guides were able to make small repairs as needed for everyone on board. Joshua the chef is a real talent and the fine dining quality food exceeded all expectations, especially considering he took last minute substitution requests to adhere to individuals specific diets which was greatly appreciated. We ended up all becoming good friends on the trip and hope to reunite to dive together again.
