Comments	This was my send trip on the Rocio del Mar -- I'd also recommend their Socorros trip. The crew is fabulous, the boat very comfortable and very clean; the food very good w/ the chef accomodating towards special requests. My buddies and I would do this trip again or the long one they run. Divemasters are great in finding critters -- nudibranchs, sea horses, lots of different kinds of blennies, and giant jawfish...with eggs. Our excursion to see whale sharks was a wonderful success, with ours being the only boat in the bay where this take place, and we saw several. A refreshing change from other places where several or even dozens of boats are clamoring with sometimes less than respectful tourists. We got to dive w sea lions a number of times too, with booby birds looking on.
