What level of diver is this trip for?

Advanced, big-animal and current diving. Not sure if it's the right fit? Niki will talk it through with you.

Can I still do this trip?

This was a past SXT departure to Mexico, Socorro (Revillagigedo Islands). We run adventures like it regularly, so contact us about the next departure or a custom version designed for your own group.

Is this good for solo travelers?

Absolutely. SXT trips attract friendly, like-minded travelers, and many guests arrive solo and leave with a whole new crew of dive buddies.

Do you handle flights and logistics?

Yes. SXT concierge takes care of flights, transfers, documents, and the little details, so all you have to do is show up and soak it in.

Why you will love this trip

What makes this trip special, and why travelers choose to come back.

Giant oceanic mantas overhead

Socorro's giant oceanic mantas are something apart: enormous, curious, and genuinely drawn to divers. They sweep in to hover overhead at cleaning stations, returning again and again across multiple dives.

Roca Partida - open-ocean pinnacle

A lone rock in the open Pacific, surrounded by walls of fish and cruising sharks. Roca Partida is one of the most dramatic dive sites on the planet and a highlight of every Socorro trip.

Dolphins at arm's reach

Pods of dolphins are a near-constant presence at Socorro, buzzing divers on descent and turning every surface interval into a spectacle.

Pelagic variety at every site

Hammerheads, sharks, mantas, dolphins, and eagle rays share the same water column at El Canyon, Cabo Pearce, and Roca Partida. The pelagic density here is what makes the Revillagigedo Islands legendary.
