Challenging Vacation, Diving into Shark's Nest in the Socorro islands

Socorro Islands, about 250 miles south of Cabo San Lucas. This remote chain of volcanic seamounts is uninhabited, but underwater, it's a metropolis of marine life. Divers regularly see a wide variety of sharks — including hammerhead sharks, silk sharks, Galapagos sharks, silverfin, whitefin, tiger, and even whale sharks — and frequently encounter mantas, dolphins, humpback whales, and more.
Due to its remote location and on the high seas, Socorros can only be visited by liveaboard, and it takes a full 24 hours to get there from Cabo San Lucas. Once you arrive, you'll be rewarded with pelagic shark action unlike anywhere else. Roca Partida, a solitary peak rising from the depths, is one of the best places for rare blue water encounters with species like the oceanic whitefin.
