Shark Diving at Socorro Islands
Introduction:
The Socorro Islands, correctly called Revillagigedos Archipielago, are located 250 miles due south into the Pacific Ocean from the tip
of the Baja Peninsula, Mexico. These islands have been compared to Galapagos or Cocos in the quality of Big Animal encounters they provide.
They have in fact been called "Mexican Galapagos". There are a lot of sharks - huge hammerhead schools, white tips, silver tips, silkys,
duskies, galapagos & occasionally tigers. We have counted up to 7 species of shark on JUST ONE DIVE!

Expedition Brief:
These islands are famous for unbelievable encounters with Giant Mantas. These winged giants are up to 22 feet across and
it is common to be in the water with 5 to 12 of these winged giants at once. This may seem like an exaggeration but it definitely
is not! They seem to enjoy interaction with scuba divers thinking we are giant cleaner fish and once they arrive stay with
our divers all day long. It has been said by many well-known underwater photographers that "there is no better place in the
world to photograph giant mantas. The water is blue, there are plenty of mantas and they even seem to pose for your camera".
