Belle Amie works surprisingly well for very different Mexico itineraries. Socorro is about remote offshore scuba diving, Ultimate Whale Sharks combines Sea of Cortez diving with seasonal snorkelling, and Magdalena Bay follows fast-moving wildlife from pangas. The large cabins, stabilized steel construction and spacious shared areas made each style of expedition more comfortable.
I appreciated that the crew was very clear about the Magdalena Bay programme. It is mainly a snorkelling and freediving wildlife expedition, not a week of standard scuba diving. One day may be used for optional scuba and a visit to Margarita Island's sand dunes if conditions and timing allow.
Magdalena Bay requires patience. We sometimes searched for quite a while before anything happened, and then suddenly striped marlin, sea lions and seabirds appeared around a bait ball. The slow periods made the action feel even more intense when it started.
The Magdalena Bay trip was completely different from a normal diving liveaboard. Most of the active days were spent searching for sardine bait balls from local pangas, then entering the water with masks, fins and snorkels when the guides found suitable activity.
