Diving Socorro is a unique experience which can be highly recommended and shall be repeated sometime in the future. The Revillagigedo Island area demonstrates how a healthy environment should look like. Viva la Mexico.

European eels (Anguilla anguilla), critically endangered (according to the most recent IUCN assessment)

Nice encounter.

Clown fish & anemone

You do a wreckdive to the U455 (92-118m depth), and then at 101m, you see this. So a mola mola on a wreckdive, not bad in my eyes.

Marine Turtle

Juvenile Scribbled leatherjacket filefish. Cloudy day made the conditions perfect to shoot out the wonderful colors of the subject with a dark background.
