Live aboard recommendations in Mexico

[MNScubaSteve]

I am trying to plan a diving trip next month. I have dove in Cozumel and would like to try some other place in Mexico. I am also considering a trip to Turks and Caicos or Bonaire.

Does anyone have any recommendations of liveaboards in Mexico?

The only Mexican liveaboards I know about are around Baja, Sea of Cortez and the shark dives around Socorro and Guadalupe. I did a trip on the Solmar V years ago - it was a great trip - mostly drift diving and recovery by panga inflatables.

I don't think you're going to find many options for a general Mexico live aboard dive trip for August or September.
Solmar V and both Nautilus boats are currently White Shark cage diving off Guadalupe Island so unless that's of interest...

Rocio Del Mar is diving the Sea of Cortez Aug-Sept. but it's popular so completely sold out for 2016 - not uncommon this late. One handy thing about the trip for future years is they leave from Puerto Penasco on the north end of the Sea so you fly into Phoenix and take their shuttle down. It's pretty convenient...

MV Valentina has some 5-day Sea of Cortez trips available next month. They leave from LaPaz. I don't know much about it or this booking agent. Valentina Liveaboard | Valentina Diving - Divebooker.com

I am also considering a trip to Turks and Caicos

Any chance you could go this Saturday? Turks/Caicos Explorer has space available. It's a good trip, lots of deep walls, sharks, rays etc. Otherwise their next availability is Aug 27th or Sept. 3rd. Book your trip with Explorer Ventures - Availability

You can also check Aggressor trips here - maybe they've got something of interest. Aggressor Fleet Online Reservation System

M/V Valentina, run by Fun Baja, out of La Paz. Great trip.
