潜点: Ninja Rock

关于 Ninja Rock

The Revillagigedo Archipelago, frequently known by its largest island, Socorro, is recognized as a premier destination for large marine animal encounters globally. This UNESCO World Heritage Site and Mexican National Park is situated in the eastern Pacific Ocean, approximately 400 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The remote nature of these four volcanic islands—Socorro, San Benedicto, Roca Partida, and Clarion—contributes to their pristine condition, offering a unique wilderness experience. The diving here is focused on exhilarating interactions with marine megafauna. Dive sites are characterized by open ocean conditions, with depths for recreational divers ranging from 8 meters (25 feet) to 40 meters (130 feet), while deep walls extend well beyond 100 meters (330 feet) for technical diving. Expect to spend dives in the blue, observing schooling sharks and rays, and engaging with curious pelagics. Encounters often involve large oceanic manta rays, which actively seek out divers, and playful pods of bottlenose dolphins. Marine life is abundant and diverse, with over ten species of sharks, including tiger sharks, scalloped hammerheads, silky sharks, and white-tip reef sharks. Beyond the sharks, large schools of jacks and tuna are common, as are various cetacean species like humpback whales and false orcas during specific seasons. The Clarion Angelfish, endemic to these islands, is also a notable sight, often observed cleaning mantas. Due to its remote location, the archipelago is exclusively accessed by liveaboard, typically departing from Cabo San Lucas. This allows for multiple dives daily, providing extensive opportunities for encounters. While the waters are generally calm, the dive experience is geared towards intermediate to advanced divers comfortable with deep diving and potential open ocean currents.
