AccommodationsMarine Life FoodAmazing diversity in the Dive sites! From Sea Lions, to Macro search on the bottom, to Wrecks, Pinnacles and some exploration on land with hiking to gorgeous vistas!The rooms were tight, but to be expected. Odor coming from shower drain noted along with occasional cock roach. The beds were soft, and the staff serviced your room daily, a plus.The enthusiasm of the Staff to get the Pangas ready for snorkeling adventure when Dolphin Pods 200 plus swam past! Or to follow the Whales when spotted. The diversity in the Dive sites was incredible!

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodThe crew of the Rocio Del Mar was awesome, especially the dive masters. Nirupam from Bluewater was exceptional! Wealth of expertise and will to teach and share. Very nice group of guests.Very sea worthy ship, rooms and dining area was a little dated.There were roaches in our room...which is probably unavoidable given the provisions which need to be loaded.I loved diving with the Sea Lions and snorkeling with the dolphins.Unbelievable trip! We would love to do some variation of this again, I really liked from Loreto to Cabo.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodThe ship is setup for divers and photographers which is wonderful. There is sufficient room for camera gear and dive gear storage on the dive deck. The cabins are a little old but comfortable with plenty of storage for personal gear. Dining area is spacious and clean and the food is top notch.The crew is friendly, very helpful and always there to assist be it topside or underwater. Our Divemaster Jerson was amazing! He pointed out things I would have never found including various Nudi’s, octopus, and a Seahorse.I would definitely take another trip on the Rocio Del Mar locations they travel to and the service from the crew is so amazing.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodRocio, for me, was most excellent. It’s my only live aboard experience. I’m a former naval aviator so my previous years at sea haven’t been for this type of pleasure and it’s a welcome change. The food was much better than navy chow :) The crew was fantastic and really catered to the client’s needs. They were respectful, courteous, and extra helpful for any needs.Everything about the Rocio, crew, accommodations, and safety were excellent!

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodCannot say enough about the Rocio staff- so hard working. Thanks to the chef, Cinco, Herson and the other dive masters, the captain and Engineer. Great accommodations especially for photography. Very wonderful and warm and skilled and professional crew.This was a trip to remember for a lifetime! The Sea of Cortez biological richness, The Rocio Del Mar amazing staff - dive masters, chef, captain, engineer, will be hard to equal.
