The Solmar V is a 112' luxury live-aboard dive vessel based in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico since 1992. Now under new ownership, the Solmar V is a true four-season live-aboard that takes advantage of weather patterns to offer optimal diving year-round at world-class dive destinations.

We journey 250 miles south of Los Cabos into the eastern Pacific Ocean to the Socorro Islands (officially known as the Revillagigedos Islands) to dance with the Giant Pacific manta ray, cavort with dolphins, dodge seven different species of sharks and thrill to an occasional lucky interaction with the migrating humpback whale population. This is remote, adventure diving at its finest.

The Sea of Cortez is one of the youngest and most fertile sea on earth, containing over 850 species of reef fish, as well as the famous flying mobulas and an assortment of schooling pelagics and tropicals. We've been diving the Sea of Cortez for over 25 years, and we call it home. We travel to the famous seamounts in the Sea of Cortez and the resident California sea lion colony at Los Islote every October.

In August and September, we are based in Ensenada, Mexico and follow the ultimate apex predator to Guadalupe Island, 180 miles offshore. This is rapidly becoming the world's best location to dive in custom-built shark cages with great white sharks. Because we use hookah instead of scuba tanks on these trips, you do not need to be a certified scuba diver to enjoy the rush of going eyeball to eyeball with a 16' great white shark.

We have launched a new website at www.solmarV.com which is packed with details about our trips, diving, accommodations and dining, and includes a virtual tour of the boat and stunning photos from the destinations we visit. Join the Solmar V Trading Card Treasure Hunt and you can win a free trip to the Socorro Islands or Atomic Aquatics dive gear.
