On the return from Clipperton Island<\/a> to Cabo San Lucas, we stopped for a few days to dive at Socorro Island<\/a> and San Benedicto Island<\/a>, two islands in the Revillagigedos Archipelago. These stark volcanic islands offer some of the best diving in the world, with spectacular encounters with sharks, manta rays, dolphins and whales being common. We dove at Cabo Pearce for a day, with manta rays on every dive. The next day we spent at San Benedicto Island, again with sharks and mantas. A few of my favorites are below and show why the Revillagigedos is such a remarkable place. Cheers, and thanks for looking!<\/p>\n
