Baja California with the Nautilus
I had been waiting to do this trip for years and it didn’t disappoint The dive sites in the Sea of Cortez are legendary The staff were enthusiastic, professional and very friendly. Safety and comfort for the divers was always a priority. The dive guides managed to balance supervision and allowing freedom to roam underwater without compromising safety The dive equipment and set up was well maintained and well organized We sailed overnight to go to new trips every day. The food was delicious and generous portions made fresh every day. We enjoyed a wide variety of dives: drift dives, night dives, wreck dives and cavern dives. The highlight was a close encounter with a whale shark which was truly amazing! Diving with the sealions and seals was also a wonderful experience. Overall I highly recommend the trip which offers outstanding value for money.

Best diving trip with best crew

unforgettable experience
The underwater world has surpassed everything seen so far. The crew on the boat was super friendly, helpful and took care of the well-being of the guests. An all-round successful trip. Come back on this boat, the number of guests is ideal, so you don't get in each other's way under water.

A pretty unique experience
The dive guides are very good, especially Rodolfo. They spot the sharks, mantas and dolphins usually before the group see's them. The food was also good, with no complaints of any illnesses. The boat and crew has a good attitude to safety and give some quite lengthy but essential safety briefings. My 2nd trip to Socorro, but hopefully there will be many more to come!
- Recommended for
- Wild dolphins that are tame and are not scared of divers. Manta's which love to hang around for most of the dive and interact with divers. Uncrowded dive sites with hardly any other dive boats around.

An outstanding experience, I'll definitely dive with Nautilus again.
Sea lions! Who knew they were so much fun under water :) Good viz and great diving all-round, covering an excellent range of sites (and more dives than advertised - 16 vs the 12). Sundowners and beers (from a very well-stocked bar) under the stars. All made extremely easy and enjoyable by the wonderful staff.

- The staff were all fantastic, friendly, extremely professional but also engendered a relaxed, enjoyable experience. The vessel is in good repair, well set up for diving and relaxing. And the trip is all made very easy and efficient by the shoreside support.

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).

- Saw tons of pelagics and lots of fish life!. Awesome crew, they worked hard and put us in the best position for good diving.. Great people on the boat and time to share stories..
