“Great time on Rocio del Mar, they did a great job of taking care of us for Snorkeling! Great job accommodating us for snorkeling. I was somewhat hesitant to book snorkeling (only) on dive boat. But, Rocio del Mar crew did great job accommodating us. We had snorkeling set up every day, with DM -- same schedule as scuba. Everything was top notch -- boats, staff, dive sites, etc. Highly recommended!!”

Rocio del Mar Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Rocio del Mar Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Sea lions in the Sea of Cortez. The captain and crew were fantastic. My bag containing my dive gear was left at Heathrow by American Airlines but the crew and other guests rallied to ensure I had enough gear to continue with the trip. The captain even loaned me his own wetsuit. Fantastic trip.”
