Prepare to embark on an extraordinary underwater odyssey with Dr. Adrian Munguia-Vega to join a groundbreaking expedition for the fourth consecutive year. This isn't just any diving trip – it's a thrilling plunge into the heart of deep-sea marine biodiversity, where science meets adventure in the pristine waters of the Revillagigedo Archipelago. You'll be at the forefront of cutting-edge marine research, wielding the power of non-invasive environmental DNA (eDNA) to unlock the hidden secrets of the archipelago's biodiversity. Picture yourself as a scientific detective, collecting water samples that hold microscopic traces to the presence of elusive marine species. With each sample, you're contributing to a groundbreaking ecological baseline that's reshaping our understanding of this underwater paradise. But the true adventure lies in the unexplored depths. Brace yourself as we deploy state-of-the-art sampling devices into the abyss, plunging up to 300 meters into mysterious marine canyons and never seen underwater seascapes. These high-tech marvels, equipped with depth recorders and video cameras, will be your eyes and ears in a realm few humans have ever witnessed. As we go deeper, you'll discover that the twilight zone between 80-280 meters harbors a hidden world teeming with life – a parallel universe of biodiversity waiting to be explored. You will also have the opportunity to learn to identify and record up to forty species of fish, sharks and rays as we will be making visual underwater counts of the species to complement and validate the DNA samples. This research is in addition to the diving itinerary and guests can participate as much or as little as they like.

2024 marks 140 years of helping mariners have the time of their lives on the water. Much has changed over the decades, but one thing that has remained is our commitment to crafting innovative vessels that combine elegance and performance. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
