The Socorro Islands (part of the Revillagigedo Archipelago) are often called the 'Galapagos of Mexico'. This remote volcanic outpost is famous for its uniquely friendly giant Pacific manta rays, which actively seek out interaction with divers.

Features

A group of four volcanic islands far offshore. The main attractions are the giant Pacific manta rays that interact with divers. The islands also attract numerous shark species (silky, hammerhead, whitetip), dolphins, and humpback whales in winter.
