Comments dove with azure fleet aboard the valentina in Oct 2017.This was our first liveaboard in the sea of cortez and we certainly weren't disappointed. Dove 3/4 dives per day for 5 days including night dives. Amount of critters large and small was outstanding. Sharks, sea lions, turtles, multitudes of fish, mobalas and other rays and topped off by a whaleshark snorkel the last day with 5 different whalesharks.
The boat was clean and roomy and the food good. Crew and dive crew were very knowlegable and had great attitudes. They were very helpful in assisting all divers.
Although we are not into underwater photography they had more than adequate room for all camera operations. The only negative for us was that no member of the crew took any videos which we would have liked to have as memories of the trip.
All ln all a very good dive trip. Water was fairly warm (80-85) and alternated between a skin and a 3MM.
