Good dive operators/liveaboard? - Sea of Cortez

Can anyone recommend a good dive operator/liveaboard for diving in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico and/or the Socorro Islands?

I know nothing about the area and who operates there. I'm looking for a decent operator who does reasonably adventurous diving.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Smile An advert in the Diver magazine

I have not been there personally yet! But in the Diver magazine there is an advert for Club Cantamar in La Paz, Mexico. Their website is Scuba Diving Baja California Sea of Cortez La Paz Mexico It is not cheap! Bit have a look, it is a good site. Hope it helps?

A friend of mine did sea of cortez in feb this year (and still hasn't stopped going on about how bloody wonderful it was and how i should of gone with her...)
anyway, its pricey but it was a livaboard. Think she booked direct through the oat and sorted her own flights:
