Plongée à Revillagigedo — Mexico
The Revillagigedo Archipelago (aka Socorro) is Mexico's premier big-animal destination, a UNESCO World Heritage site 24 hours by liveaboard from Cabo. Giant oceanic manta rays actively approach divers at cleaning stations, while hammerheads patrol the volcanic walls. This is a once-in-a-lifetime pelagic encounter — expensive and remote, but transformative.
