Awesome crew, amazing diving, and well run operation.
Dolphins, hammerheads, tiger shark, mantas, and the wonderfully friendly crew. The food was good. The top deck can get a little fumey while motoring, so I'd encourage the boat to raise the smokestack or otherwise get creative with the exhaust fumes so that its more comfortable to hang out while motoring.

- The crew was absolutely wonderful, the diving and competence of the crew were excellent, and the boat operated like clockwork.

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!

White shark express
The crew went out of their way to make your experience a fantastic and memorable one. The opportunity to see multiple white sharks from up close was amazing. There was never a wait to get into a cage so you could essentially soak as long as you wanted to! Would recommend this trip and boat.

The ship and the crew made for a wonderfully delightful dive trip experience.
Of course, the CALIFORNIA SEA LIONS!!! Such beautiful animals. They are comfortable with divers and getting to experience them up close and personal is something i'll remember until my dying day.

- I can't say enough about the care that the crew showed for all of us on board. Everyone was incredibly attentive to my needs. The food, dive guides, captain and steward were, not only incredibly competent, but carried out their duties with a care to detail and fun loving attitudes. Really, a fantastic trip.

Spectacular shark encounters
The almost 6m tall "Lucy" and another female of almost the same size, which were often very close to the cages. Sighting of a total of almost 30 different great white sharks. The information from the professional crew about the sharks and their distinguishing features was also great. This gives guests the opportunity to photograph a shark that has not yet been registered and to give it a name. The spectacular jumps of the sharks out of the water were also sensational.
- Recommended for
- A great experience to experience the great white sharks so closely, the warmth of the crew and the possibility of unlimited cage diving.

A must do trip for divers!
Even though the water was a bit chilly this liveaboard was a trip that I’d definitely want to do again and again. The crew worked together so well. It was like we were all a family by the end of the week. The food was delicious. The mantas and the sharks and the dolphins were incredible. At times I wondered if it was all real. The hot tub on top is a nice treat.
