Socorro Islands liveaboard specialist Pelagic Fleet books dive trips from Shelter Island in Point Loma. Incoming international divers use DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego Bayside as a pre-trip base before the drive down to Cabo San Lucas or La Paz for boarding. Signature vessels include the Solmar V, Socorro Vortex, and the 32-foot Intrepid Mobula for free-diving with sharks, whales, manta rays, mobula-rays, mola-mola, sea lions, whale sharks, baitballs, dolphin pods, and occasional orcas. Trips depart from Mexican ports, though the Shelter Island Drive office at Suite E handles all booking, pre-trip gear coordination, and post-trip debrief support. Returning divers extend stays at The Bay Club Hotel & Marina for bayfront decompression days between flights. Safari expeditions off Cabo before or after a primary liveaboard extend the trip with day-boat Mobula free-dive sessions targeting seasonal bait-ball activity. The most complex bookings combine a Socorro Islands liveaboard, a Cabo pre-trip safari, and a Magdalena Bay gray-whale extension assembled as a single multi-week Mexican-waters itinerary.
