Comments	Probably one of the best run-live aboard operations we've been on in terms of service, accommodations, crew experience, safety and absolutely remarkable diving. If you want to see big animals, this trip is a must. That said, given the remoteness of Socorro and some of the challenging conditions encountered above and below the surface, Advanced and Nitrox certifications are a must.
