Solmar V
The Solmar V is a true four-season live-aboard that takes advantage of weather patterns to provide optimal diving year-round. We journey 250 miles south of Los Cabos into the eastern Pacific Ocean to the Revillagigedos Islands, more commonly known as the Socorro Islands—to dance with the Giant Pacific manta ray, cavort with dolphins, dodge seven different species of sharks and thrill to an occasional lucky interaction with the migrating humpback whale population. This is remote, adventure diving at its finest.
