Incredible week - go here to see the BIG stuff!
Had an awesome week! The best pelagic big stuff diving I've had anywhere in the world, mantas on every dive, hammerheads, close encounters with dolphins, tons of sharks and humpback whale watching from the surface. The crew was great, and were willing to take us on a launch between dives to go snorkeling with a school of false killer whales. The captain coordinated with other boats so that we were the only boat at Roca Partida (having multiple boats would have reduced our dives there).

Sea lions & whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez!
I just returned from an incredible week in the Sea of Cortez aboard the Nautilus Undersea. The diving was just incredible and definitive trip highlights were diving with the sea lions and snorkeling and swimming with the whale sharks. The boat crew were extremely friendly and worked nonstop and we had 3 amazing dive guides throughout the week. We learned quite a bit about the Sea of Cortez through various nightly presentations on board and also had fun swimming and kayaking during surface intervals. I can’t say enough about our chef as all the meals were fantastic and our hostess was so friendly and always smiling. What an incredible week!

Amazing Liveaboard Experience with exceptional diving
I would recommend this trip to any diver interested in exceptional diving.

- The wildlife encounters were amazing, from pelagic mantas on almost every dive, to 5 different types of shark, some huge, and a school of 1000+ 50 kg to 150 kg yellow fin tuna. Amazing!. The crew was amazing. The captain's leadership in delivering customer satisfaction. From driving zodiac skiffs, to clearing tables on occasion, nothing escaped his attention to detail. All efforts directed at delivering the best experience possible for the divers. The passengers gelled rapidly, with participants from Argentina, Brazil, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Taiwan, Canada and the U S.

Whale sharks, sea lions, and mobulas in Sea of Cortez - the highlight of my summer
The highlights of the trip were the "Safari" trips with speedboats. The diving part was not that spectacular, although interesting - we had about 20 dives total, which seems not much for a 9 day trip (the trip technically is 11-day event, per the description, but we arrived after 6pm and left the boat at 8:30am, so no activities on those days) The program promises a lot of other activities and sea creatures, but I am happy with I saw and encountered. The whale sharks were definitely a unique experience, although I have mixed feelings about that, as I think that in some way we disturbed their peaceful day jumping around them and swimming quite close to them - they were not going away, so I hope that they were not stressed very much. The crew was very good and helpful both on the diving side as the boat service side. I wish the information would be better. The cabins and boat equipment was basic, but I did not expect much more. I am very happy with this trip!
