All aboard the ship Southern Sport for once-in-a-lifetime diving expeditions to Socorro Islands and the Revillagigedo Archipelago National Park! Join a unique scientific expedition. Live aboard the Southern Sport for 9 days and encounter the unique wildlife of the Revillagigedo Archipelago, which can only be experienced when scuba diving in Mexico’s most remote location.
Located in the Pacific about 22 hours sailing southwest of Cabo San Lucas, the Revillagigedo Islands are a group of four volcanic islands: Clarion Island, Isla San Benedicto, and Socorro Island, plus an islet called Roca Partida.
The Mexican Government established the islands as a biosphere reserve in 1994, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2016. This is fitting because of the chain’s one-of-a-kind ecosystem, which gave it its nickname – “the little Galapagos.”
With the Ko’ox team, you’ll head out to San Benedicto, Roca Partida, and Socorro, the home of the Giant Manta Rays. There is a diffusion of species to approach and sometimes interact with too, including Giant Stingrays, Hammerhead Sharks – which can sometimes be seen in schools of sixty or more by day – as well as Silky, Galapagos, and Whale Sharks. Humpback Whales, tuna, turtles and five different types of mackerel haunt the deep blue waters, while fleet schools of Bottlenose Dolphins flit past, and Blue Lobsters hunt the sands beneath. Rarely seen elsewhere, the abundance of beautiful marine life is unique to the Revillagigedo Islands.
