SOCORRO ISLAND
San Diego Expeditions
THE NAUTILUS DIFFERENCE
Incredible big animal diving
Uncompromising safety
Amazing guest experience


WHAT AM I GOING TO SEE?
 


Mantas, dolphins, and sharks, oh my! What makes Socorro special is the unique, incredibly friendly interaction between the divers and the giant mantas, and between the divers and the dolphins. Plus, you may see up to 10 species of sharks!

  WHEN SHOULD I GO?
 


The diving at Socorro is fantastic year-round. Hurricane season runs from middle of July through the beginning of November; therefore we don’t offer trips at that time. There are 3 distinct seasons: November and December have the warmest water temperatures of 80 degrees +; January-April is humpback whale season, with cooler water temperatures; In May-July we see the largest biomass of animals!

  HOW MANY DIVES
DO I GET?


Loads! We strive to provide 4 dives per day, except the Navy Base check-in day, when you will have 3 dives and an evening snorkel with silky sharks. Noting that weather conditions or crowding by some of our competitors may limit some of the diving.

 
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE
DO I NEED?


Depends! We cater to divers of all experience levels. Experienced and self-reliant divers will have complete freedom on their dives, if they choose, and will be the first in the water. Newly certified divers, or those who would like extra TLC, will be with a divemaster from start to finish. Noting that not all dives will be suitable for our friends with less experience. Most of our friends will fit somewhere in between.

  HOW DO I GET THERE?
 


Simple! Fly into Cabo San Lucas (SJD), the fun and sun-soaked vacation hotspot in Baja California. We suggest meeting at our dive center on the boardwalk in the main harbour. We offer a complementary warm-up dive in Cabo for anyone voyaging to Socorro.

  HOW MUCH
DOES A TRIP COST?


We pride ourselves on offering the best guest experience at the best rates. Our ships feature 4 levels of accommodations and vary depending on trip length and season. A stateroom accommodation on a typical 8-night trip is USD$3195 per person.

 


How the competition compares !

Two minutes into the dive and 7 dolphins pass by to say hello…what a wonderful start to the day…and not only did they come wish us a good morning, but they stayed and played for several minutes, and then periodically stopped by to see what we were all up to throughout the entire dive. Then came the mantas…and as we worked our way around the rock, we were constantly surrounded by a plethora of fish of all sizes and colors and not to forget the multitude of baby white tip sharks swimming throughout this life-sized aquarium. Beautiful dive…thank you Nautilus team! And quick note as to the second dive…hammerheads, tiger and Galapagos sharks…now we just need to see a whale shark!
