Cabins very small, especially if you were on the Amira in Indonesia before. Otherwise great !!!

From Germany a long journey, which is worth it. Super diving spots, around the Socorro Islands the underwater world seems still in order: white tips, silvertips, Galapagos sharks, then sometimes a tiger shark comes around the corner or in the blue a school of hammerheads. Mantas, which "dance" with the divers, octopuses, lobsters XXL and many shoals, tunas, jackfish ... The crew is super friendly and helpful, very professional. I felt safe above and below the water at all times. The food is delicious, the cabins are small, but you are mostly on deck or in the salon anyway. If you are not afraid of cost and travel, absolutely recommended. Elisabeth

It is not a luxury boat, but functional, clean and big enough (we were 17 divers). On the sundeck at the stern it is a bit too noisy for me to rest because of the engine. But in front of the bridge it has a quiet padded sunbathing area. I was accommodated in the double cabin at the front of the bow, where it is best in terms of noise.
The crew is top, everyone helps in all areas!
It is a pity that it is not allowed to dive directly from the diving platform in the stern of the Solmar (regulation national park). We had to change into the pangas, where our jackets with tanks were already ready. The trips to the dive spots were short (a few minutes).

The Solmar V is now getting on in years and should be fundamentally renovated. However, this is easily made up for by the good cuisine and the really hard-working dive guides. Dive spots, what should we write here? Are the usual three rocks in the Pacific, you can have luck with the animals here (like us) or not.

The Soccorrotrip was absolutely unique. Great guides, great crew and great guests. The divespots are great, especially the boiler where the probability to play with mantas and dolphins at the same time is very high. The cabins are a bit small but still okay if you want to have it bigger you have to book on the new boat of the fleet.

To anticipate, I felt very comfortable on the Solmar V, she is a beautiful ship. I was accommodated in a standard cabin, which had everything I needed (space is in the smallest cabin) In terms of space, even with 22 passengers and 11 crew members, you never had the feeling that someone was crowding you. Also on the dive deck there was a lot of space, my underwater camera with accessories was safely stored, one did not get into the crowd. The crew also took excellent care of us and the food - great. The Socorro-Tour was fantastic, great dive sites, a wonderful underwater world, the impressions remain unforgotten.

Socorro. Mantas and dolphins closer than ever. My best dive yet. I'd recommend it to anyone, and I'd go right back.
