Roca Partida

Roca Partida: The Crown Jewel of Socorro

Roca Partida is the definition of "don't judge a book by its cover." From the surface, it looks like a lonely, guano-covered rock in the middle of the Mexican Pacific, but underwater, it is a skyscraper of life. As part of the Revillagigedo Archipelago, this pinnacle acts as a magnet for everything in the open ocean. Because there is nowhere else to hide for miles, the density of life here is mind-blowing. We are talking about vertical walls patrolling with Silvertips and Galapagos sharks, massive schools of Tuna blocking out the sun, and the friendly Giant Mantas that make this trip a bucket-list necessity.

Why We Chose This Sticker Design

We simply couldn't make a Roca Partida sticker without illustrating the site's most famous quirk: the "Shark Condos." We drew the Whitetip Reef Sharks piling on top of each other on the rocky ledges—a behavior that is absolutely iconic to this specific dive site! We balanced that cozy chaos against the deep blue of the open ocean, featuring the sleek silhouettes of Tuna and a Manta Ray in the distance. It’s a design that captures the contrast of the dive: the shelter of the rock on one side, and the wild, pelagic highway on the other.
