I primarily booked the Socorro trip to prep for my Galapagos trip that was coming up in 3 months . I wasn’t expecting to see a whole lot on that trip, to be honest , a Mexican Galapagos , more like a sidekick to to the Ecuadorian Galapagos. But was I pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was. Overall I preferred Socorro to the Ecuadorian Galapagos. On our Galapagos trip ( Ecuadorian ) a number of divers felt the same way. My favorite dive sites were El Canyon for the hammerheads , Roca Partida for the shark caves & El boiler for a v. interactive manta experience. They come up to each diver so no one feels left out.
