What this boat is actually good at

The value option for Socorro, run by a crew with a long record in the Sea of Cortez. Fewer frills than the premium fleet, more dives per day, and a following of divers who book it again rather than trading up.

When it sails

This is not a first liveaboard

The operator expects around 40 logged dives, and the sites on this itinerary run current. If you are newer than that, tell us. There is almost always a better boat for your first week, and we would rather send you there.

The fine print, up front

What the cabin price covers, and what it does not

Normally included

  • Cabin, all meals and soft drinks on board
  • The dive schedule on the itinerary, usually three to four dives a day
  • Tanks, weights and belt
  • Guiding and dive briefings
  • Airport or hotel transfer on embarkation day, on most boats

Normally extra

  • Marine park, port and fuel fees, usually paid in cash on board
  • Nitrox, unless the boat states it is free
  • Gear rental: regulator, BCD, computer, torches
  • Crew gratuity, customary at five to ten percent
  • Flights, hotels and dive insurance, which you book yourself

This is the industry norm rather than a promise from any one boat. We confirm the exact inclusions in writing with the operator before you pay anything.

Before you commit

Where a trip quietly gets more expensive

This is the part booking engines leave out, and it is where a week gets a thousand dollars pricier than the headline. None of it is a surprise if you know it going in.

Marine park and port fees

Paid on board, almost always in cash, and rarely small. Mexico charges these per diver per trip. We tell you the current figure before you book.

Nitrox

Available on this boat. Sometimes bundled, sometimes charged per week. Worth taking on a multi-dive-per-day itinerary.

Gear rental

Regulator, BCD, computer and torches are usually extra. Bringing your own is cheaper on any trip longer than a week, and you dive better in kit you know.

Crew gratuity

Customary across the industry and not included anywhere. Budget somewhere between five and ten percent of the trip price, in cash.

Flights and the night before

We do not sell flights, by design. Always plan at least one night on land before boarding: a delayed bag or a missed connection should not cost you the trip.

Dive travel insurance

Many operators require proof of cover to let you board. Get a policy with chamber treatment, evacuation and supplier insolvency. We will point you at one that has all three.
