Scuba diving on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico was a bit of a revelation for us. Located along Pacific Rim of Fire, the often barren coastline and small offshore landmasses were formed by intense volcanic activity.
Our memories of diving the islands ofSocorro, San Benedicto and Roca Partidaare of dramatic rocky landscapes, frisky currents and masses of big animals: day after day we encountered giant pacific manta rays and reef sharks; there were hammerheads, silky sharks bottlenose dolphins and ever more mantas. For the big stuff, this was a superlative destination.
There are only seven species of turtles in our oceans and all are sadly endangered. The turtle gallery has photos and information to help you identify which one is which and where you can see them.

We'll shortly be heading back to the amazing island of Palau. It's been eight years since our last visit and we are looking forward to exploring the waters again – and seeing many of our friends!
Our last group trip was to fascinating Ambon in Indonesia. EZ Dive printed our feature article on that and you can read it here.
