Comments	Socorro Island, San Benidicto and Roca Partita make up this great dive destination. 24 hour cruise from Cabo, this remote island archipelago is know for Mantas and does not disappoint! I all my 5 previous trips to Socorro, we have ALWAYS had Mantas- and lots of them! I will typically see 7-8 species of sharks here and some trips include Whale Sharks. This trip did not see a Whale Shark, but dives included Silkies, Galapagos, Silver Tip, Tiger, Hammerheads and White Tips. Wild Dolphins are seen often and will come in close and play with divers! One of my dives at El Canyon included several Mantas, a pod of Dolphins, and Galapagos and Silver Tip cleaning station! The boat, crew, accommodations, food, camera setup are all tops!
