Intense dives in a very friendly atmosphere.
Great week - the day of watching and swimming with the whale sharks was awesome! We saw several of them and to be so close to them was magical! The dives where the sea lions came to watch US! 😉

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
This trip to Socorro felt so special, we had an amazing crew taking care of us underwater and on the boat, we were diving so remotely that it felt really unique, the dives sites are magical. Really recommend Nautilus as it’s a really safe company and crew members are really awesome!

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.

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..
