Comments	Phenomenal trip in a truly fantastic location. Schools of hammerheads were the highlight for me, but the trip included a whale shark, humpbacks, many giant mantas, dolphins, 4-5 other shark species, large tuna, wahoos, other pelagics & big morays. Great boat and crew that were incredibly friendly. I've got a return trip planned already. The Mexican Navy shut down diving off of Socorro just before this trip, but Roca Partida and San Benedicto were great.

UW Photo Comments	Rinse tanks, tables, charging areas available. Camera equipment was well taken care of by the staff. Some of the diving was a bit tough on some UWPs - wrestling monster dslr rigs in and out of a panga in heavy chop/surge can be tricky but the subject matter was well worth it for most.
