Dive with giant oceanic mantas at Socorro in Mexico's Revillagigedo Archipelago, where curious 7-metre mantas approach divers at remote volcanic cleaning stations. Reached only by liveaboard from Cabo San Lucas, this UNESCO marine reserve also delivers sharks, dolphins and, in winter, humpback whales, with strict park rules to protect the wildlife. The season runs from November to June, best from November to December for mantas.
