Mexico Liveaboards

This was my second trip on the Rocio del Mar, and once again Mexico Liveaboards was fantastic.

In April, I came with my two sons on a trip to Socorro, and my 12-year-old daughter was incredibly jealous. So this time, it was her turn.

I came back with Skylar and my wife Lisa for a week of diving in the Sea of Cortez.

We arranged for a private guide, Leo, who worked with Lisa and Skylar to complete their PADI AOW cert during the trip. Leo was great! It ended up being the perfect combination of training and just enjoying some nice dives together. By the end of the week, I think Lisa had deployed her SMB more times than I have.

The sea lions and whale sharks were amazing; the macro stuff was great- seahorses, nudibranchs, etc., and Lisa and Skylar both did their first night dives on the trip. During the night dives, it was great to see octopus out and about, and during a safety stop we turned off our flashlights, waved our hands through the water, and watched the bioluminescence light up around us.

Just like before, the entire crew was wonderful and made us feel welcome, well fed, and safe, including the panga drivers. The best panga driver is Everardo!

But what made the trip great was sharing it with my wife and daughter. One of the other divers mentioned being jealous that I was there diving with my family, and it made me appreciate even more how special it is to share something like this with them.

Another fantastic trip with Mexico Liveaboards, and another family adventure we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Jacque Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez the world's aquarium. This is why! Just a few of the highlights in one day in the Midriff Islands ...

The sunrises and sunsets in the Sea of Cortez are inspirational. This is sunset at Refugio Bay on Angel de la Guardia on Friday, July 24, 2026.
