When you come face to face with a Giant Pacific manta ray, it makes you want to find more ways to identify with them. The simple fact that a manta is almost always paired with the words "magical" or "unimaginable" may provide some insight as to why manta diving has become so popular. There is no better location in the world to experience this magical creature then at the Revillagigedos Islands, an environment equally matched in intrigue. A remote chain of volcanic pinnacles, the Revillagigedos Islands are comprised of 4 islands: San Benedicto Island, Socorro Island, Roca Partida and Clarionis. Off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, you can find these islands if you are brave enough to search them out. Board the Solmar V ...
Take your photography to new depths when you venture out on your next dive vacation to Cabo Pulmo. Just north of Los Cabos, Cabo Pulmo is the largest living coral reef on the western side of North America, boasting some of the youngest, most fertile waters on earth. Be sure to bring a full tank, because if the schools of jacks, tuna, stingrays, turtles, frogfish, sharks, and mantas aren't enough to take your breath away, there are always the playful resident California sea lions. Cabo Pulmo Marine National Park is composed of eight veins of coral reef, which protect over 800 species of marine animals. It wasn't until 1995, through persistent efforts of the Cabo Pulmo community, that this spectacular place became protected. Despite this, ...

Off the posh and popular coast of Cabo San Lucas lies Socorro Island, a frontier as remote and rugged as they come. As any great explorer knows, you need to stay with the locals to fully appreciate a place, and as Socorro is an uninhabitable volcanic island, the best way to explore here is on a liveaboard. Set sail with Solmar V on a Socorro liveaboard and be prepared to splashdown with one of the world's most intelligent species, the Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin. A pursuit so great isn't without some hardship, though. The journey from Cabo San Lucas to Socorro Island is about 24 hours, but the opportunity to meet these amazing animals in the wild fully makes up for any uneasiness the wavy terrain ...
During man's next age of enlightenment, Earth will be called "sea". The world's oceans cover 70 per cent of its surface, and harbour the majority of species. The most majestic of these, the humpback whale, can be best appreciated on a liveaboard to a little known refuge in the waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Here, a chain of volcanic islands rise up from the ocean floor, over 1,050 metres below. The Revillagigedos Islands, commonly referred to as Socorro, are special because in a time when most dive spots are suffering a loss, here humpback encounters continue to flourish. Your dive vacation begins by flying into Cabo San Lucas and boarding the impressive Solmar V. Hunker down on the deck before departing on the Socorro ...
Have you ever looked up at the starlit sky and wondered what your place is in the Universe? That’s the spirit that carried David Livingstone to the depths of Africa, Neil Armstrong to the Moon, Marco Polo across the seas, and even Sir Edmund Hillary to the top of Mt. Everest. That spirit of exploration is still alive and well if you make your way to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and dive its Cenote's. The Yucatan peninsula rests on a bed of limestone, which over time, as rainfall accumulated created subterranean caverns filled with fresh water. Known as Cenotes, sometimes the “roof” of these caverns collapses in, leaving pools open to the sky and creating a fresh water swimming hole in the jungle. Playa del Carmen ...
