We have some amazing news. The DiverMojo Foundation has received a special donation giving all the divers joining our Socorro & the Revillagigedo Islands Magic trip in November 2026 a once in a lifetime experience.

 

Marine Biologist, Dr. Madalena Pereira Cabral, who studies the manta rays of Socorro, is joining the trip with our fellow divers. A donation for her place on the trip was funded by a generous donation from the Bennett Raccah Charitable Trust. 

​​

She will be on board with us and we will be educated and have the opportunity to conduct citizen science, including laser measuring, photo identification and possibly the first ever touchless ultrasound manta pregnancy testing. 

​

Dr. Madalena Pereira Cabral is a Marine Biologist and Doctor of Marine and Coastal Sciences from the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur (UABCS). For more than four years, the Portuguese scientist has worked at Revillagigedo National Park, where her work on her doctoral thesis began. There, she began to study the movements of giant manta rays.

Want to contribute to the research?

It's not too late to donate to these projects:

1) Donate any amount towards the purchase of 1 satellite tag (US$6000).

2) Donate any amount towards the purchase of the touchless underwater ultrasound equipment (US$20,000). 

Tagging manta rays enables scientists to track manta behavior and habits. They are endangered and this research is critical to support our ability to help and protect. Visit DiverMojo Foundation to donate.
