Our trip to Socorro was amazing.
Even the experiences from our first day of diving in San Benedicto were overwhelming and hard to take in such a short time :-)
All four guides were top-notch. It was also well organized so that each dive group got to be in the Zodiac first, and the guides rotated through the groups.
The briefings before the dives were concise, safety-conscious, and to the point.
The entire diving operation was very well and thoughtfully organized.
The dive deck is spacious, and there’s a large box under the bench to store your personal diving gear.
Standard tanks are 10L; if you order a larger tank, it’s a 12L tank.
Every diver is provided with a Nautilus LifeLine, a DiveAlert, and an SMB. The SMB can only be inflated at the surface; if you’re used to one with a reel, it’s best to bring your own.
The rest of the crew members also did an excellent job. Everyone pitched in wherever needed—that was truly impressive.
The food was varied, and you also got the impression that the cook has a very good sense of how much to prepare—enough to satisfy everyone without leaving an excessive surplus.
The cabins aren’t state-of-the-art, of course, due to the ship’s age. But since we were aware of this, it wasn’t a drawback for us personally. The available closets provide plenty of space for personal belongings, and there are enough outlets to charge phones and other devices overnight.
Important note: As a teacher or student, national park fees are significantly reduced. You just need to provide proof of eligibility in advance.
The Undersea has a very special character, and we would definitely choose it again!
