Comments	Endless big animals. Mantas on almost every dive. Five species of sharks. Dolphins. Snorkeling with humpbacks. Excellent diving and fortunately, good diving conditions. We even had two full days at Roca Partida, where conditions often limit diving. The boat, on the other hand, was disappointing. Our cabin had problems flushing the marine head from day 1. We talked to the staff about it almost every day, with little improvement. The last 3 days we had solid waste sitting in the bowl that the crew failed to clear, despite speaking to the crew and the fact that the owner was on board for a busman's holiday. The cabin next to us had sewage overflowing from its head and sloshing into the lower level corridor during the 27 hour return trip in moderate seas to Los Cabos. The food was so-so. Not much variety and I don't think that the cook ever met a meat or fish that he couldn't overcook to the point of shoe leather consistency. I definitely plan to return to Socorro again, however not with the operator or on this boat.

UW Photo Comments	Entries and exits along with crowded rigid-hulled inflatables made handling large housed dSLRs challenging. Enough so that I left my big housed camera with dual strobes on board and simply used my GoPro.
