There are few places left on Earth where you can experience the ocean as wild and untouched as the Revillagigedo Archipelago. Often called the 'Mexican Galapagos,' scuba diving the Revillagigedo Islands (Socorro) is a bucket-list dream for advanced divers.

Instead of booking a liveaboard with strangers, join the Always Diving family! We have chartered spaces for our community to experience this magical place together. Expect world-class diving, breathtaking marine encounters, and the peace of mind that comes from traveling with your favorite PADI instructors from Cancun

Join our exclusive Always Diving group expedition. Dive with Giant Pacific Mantas, schooling sharks, and humpback whales in the wild Pacific.

Humpback Whales & Dolphins

January is peak season for Humpback Whales. Hear their songs underwater and, if we are lucky, encounter them on our dives along with playful pods of bottlenose dolphins.

Aboard the Nautilus Explorer

To reach this remote archipelago, we have partnered with one of the best operators in the industry. Our home for 9 days will be the magnificent Nautilus Explorer , a 41-meter (135 ft) custom-built dive liveaboard. It is one of the largest and most stable vessels visiting the islands, ensuring a comfortable crossing and premium amenities between your action-packed dives.
