BIG Fish Diving in the Tropical Eastern Pacific

Big fish diving is the highlight of the waters of the Tropical Eastern Pacific which features some of the most remote diving locations in the world.

The journey is long, but the underwater experience, probably the most rewarding you’ll have in your lifetime, especially if you prefer your marine life BIG! Divers will be mesmerised at the abundance of schools of pelagic species, walls of hammerhead sharks and diversity of marine life these island locations have to offer.

This vast expanse of ocean includes the idyllic islands of Cocos and Galapagos both recognised as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Further north, Isla Guadalupe and Socorro are two equally as important areas with spectacular diving opportunities and shark encounters for all. In July 2016, the Revillagigedo Archipelago was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a small victory for divers who head to Socorro for unforgettable manta ray encounters.

Diving conditions can be challenging, these liveaboard adventures are recommended for experienced divers. The rewards are great, greater than great. Depending on your chosen destination (and why not visit them all?) expect encounters with giant oceanic manta rays, humpback whales, great white sharks, scalloped hammerheads, Galapagos and silky sharks, spotted eagle rays and whale shark. The locations are excellent for shark diving, adventure, blue water diving and photography. Dive in...
