Valentina (Socorro) Reviews?

[acrespo]

I'm considering going on the Valentina to Socorro Islands in December 2017. I've been looking for reviews for Valentina but to my surprise there are none. Has anybody been on this boat? They claim to offer internet. Does the internet actually work? Thanks!

I have not. Undercurrent (a subscription-based online scuba magazine) has a review on it, MV Valentina, Sea of Cortez, Baja, Mexico. You can read part of it for free.

Liveaboard.com has a page on the boat; it mentions some reviews.

I've been on the Valentina twice and really enjoyed it. If I can, I'm happy to answer questions. The ship only has internet near and in the port. I think you're looking at the Maldives ship as to Internet. It is a Japanese owned company and seems to attract mostly Asian Divers. When I was on it,the majority of guests were Chinese or Japanese, and communication can be difficult . That said, they were skilled and courteous divers.

I have friends that went with Valentina last year with Power Scuba, an organization out of San Deigo. They only had good things to say about it. I went to Socorro last year with another boat cuz the popular ones fill up 2 years in advanced. I'd say if you have a chance to go to Socorro, do it
