Comments	Unbelievable trip. It was 23 hours to San Benedicto, another 5 to Socorro, 10 to Roca Partida and 33 back to Cabo, but would readily do it again. Boat and Crew top notch. Saw 5 species of shark, many Mantas, Dolphins, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, a huge school of Bonito and much more. Many of the above can be seen on one dive.
