Dive of a lifetime.

Some of the best diving I've ever done. Great staff with loads of knowledge. Calm seas. All types of sharks. Ah the whale shark tried to kiss me. If you see dolphins, instead of pointing a camera at them, play with them. Spin and flip. They'll join you.

Insane diving, friendly staff, bad cabin

The diving was insane - we saw schools of scalloped hammerheads, great hammerheads, tiger sharks, doplhins (!), so many giant manta & a whale shark!! The dive guides were awesome, espacially Slavic & his presentations about the animals. They made good vegan food for the 3 of us. It was delicious, but sometimes a bit unfortunate because they gave the vegan protein (like soy granulate) to everyone (buffet-style) - thats why they didnt have have enough vegan protein for us for every meal. The boat is a bit old, but overall in good condition, the hot tub was super nice! Only bad thing: The Triple Stateroom… It was right next to the kitchen and common area, so it was always loud! And it was at the very front of the boat & you could feel every wave twice as strong.. We were not seasick on the boat, but as soon as we spend a bit time in our room we got super sick… You just go up and down sooo much. The shower was also aweful.. No pressure at all & you almost fell out everytime because it was tilted. Would definitely do this trip again! Just not that room…

Excellent

Diving trip done in August 2025. We really enjoyed our time on the Nautilus Undersea. Crew was amazing and worked very hard at making we were happy and comfortable. Safety of guest was taken very seriously. Well organized. Swimming with Whale Sharks was great. We did one night dive and it was the best night dive we have ever done so far. Boat is a bit old but we were comfortable. No complaints at all. We are already planning our next dive trip in Socorro with them.
