Comments Enjoyed this trip to Socorro. Had easy passage over and back. Had large Mantas on virtually every dive. Dolphins on multiple dives. Limited amount of shark activity probaly due to the fact not much current running. The mantas and dolphins are incredibly fun to dive with lots of interactions with the animals if you just hang out and let them do their thing. The Nautilus Explorer is a nice boat. Rooms were simple, clean, with en suite heads. Food was excellent on board and the entire staff was fantastic. Always looking out to be of assistance and all crew from the captain dow very nice and hard working.For me Socorro is nice and we were lucky to be the second boat of the season to head out so we had no other boats at sites with us. My fear would be that during the heart of the season if there are jsut a couple boats at the sites i can get very crowded underwater. There is a limited amount of sites out there, i think like six? so that would be a concern.Felt the crew was very diligent when it came to safeety on board, proocedures were covered well at the beginning of trip and always mentioned during trip. All the atest in safety features on board and for diving. They were excellet in this category. ALl in all a very good trip
