What Diving the Revillagigedos Archipelago Really Looks Like, Part Two

My last post, What Diving the Revillagigedos Archipelago is Really Like, Part One, focused on the island Roca Partida. On this post we will head to the island of Socorro, the largest island in the group. The dive sites on this island include Cabo Pearce, Punta Tosca, and the Aquarium. The Aquarium was the most happening site! Most of all, I want to show you the topography and lighting down below, and though it isn’t soft waving coral, it has its own kind of beauty, as do the animals. I went on this trip with Dr Andrea Marshall’s Ray of Hope Expeditions!

One side of the island is covered in “shrubland”.

And through the fissures in the rocks….a Pandemic Eel, huge!
The archipelago is a UNESCO Heritage Site.
I loved this fish face, a Yellow Box Fish adult.
These are beautiful Barber Fish…a type of butterfly fish cleaner.

Such a gorgeous sea star!
