Quino el Guardian is a live-aboard operating out of the Sea of Cortez. Quino was a fishing boat that has been completely remodeled and refitted with a full consciousness of accommodating scientists, students, and Citizen Science programs. The Citizen Science Program merges marine scientists with enthusiastic and mindful divers who can make a difference. This program has successfully brought together scientists and volunteer divers to the Socorro Islands to study manta rays and sharks. Recreational divers benefit from observing scientists conduct research, assist with tasks, and receive in nightly presentations. Quino is available for unique private charters, such as Citizen Science programs, exploration to Clipperton Island and the Benito Islands, videography workshops, rebreather diving and teaching kids how to save our oceans.
