Day 2 of diving – Absolutely amazing! Saw the greatest great white shark smile as he stole a chunk of tuna right off the bait. I swear he swam right up to my face just to show me how proud he was. The crew and captain on Nautilus are wonderful and each presentation gave us so much insight into these beautiful creatures and Guadalupe island. They also made sure that the sharks kept coming. It was an experience of a lifetime. We will recommend this to everyone we know.
This is crazy! So many beautiful Great White sharks swimming around the underwater cages at Guadalupe Island, which is totally heart thumping for me and my son. #SharkExpress provides unlimited diving and there is an open spot to jump in cage and stay as long as you want from 6:30 am to 6 pm. This has been an awesome father/son experience, and the crew make it safe and fun.
Back in Guadalupe with some happy news. Ropey a young female seen three seasons running showed up. Previously she had a rope wrapped around her head which cut into her flesh. Her skin grew around it which is terrible but shows the resilience of these animals. Last season Marine biologists claimed to have partially removed it. Now she is rope free, with just scars to show for her suffering. Let’s all make a concerted effort to keep natural habitats clean so animals don’t suffer needlessly.
Sharks, Sharks and more sharks. Martin with Shark Divers knows his sharks! I can’t give high enough praise for the crew and boat. Every single person makes this trip unbelievable AND, the food is amazing!! You get informative shark presentation and learn how to identify. This is a trip of a live time for me and my husband. The crew surprised us with a happy 20th anniversary celebration, cheese cake and champagne. Love this trip!!
Most divers would be shocked if they knew what was going on in the engine room and below decks of many liveaboard diving ships. Safety is not something to ever take lightly. We live and breathe safety with obsessive compliance to our Safety Management System under the watchful eyes of our external auditors. See our passenger and safety certificates here.
Captain Mike has led the way for the last twenty-seven years in consistent and relentless obsessive attention to detail, and making every trip as excellent as possible. That attention to detail shows up everywhere, from each dive briefing, to the choice of dive sites, to dinner service, to the quality and thread count of our Egyptian cotton bed sheets. We never stop stressing over the details. We never stop trying to do even better.
A happy crew makes for a happy ship and the very best in guest experience. The men and women on our ships come from around the world and share your passion for Mother Ocean. Every one of our seventy crew and thirty-five shoreside support staff in Mexico and Canada are committed to doing the best they can for you, our guests, and that shines through like a bright beacon of happiness.
Canadian shipyard built from the keel up with a thoughtful design intended to support operations from the chilly current swept waters of Alaska to the equatorial heat of Clipperton Island. Recently lengthened to 132 ft, the Explorer was the world’s first SOLAS safety certified dive boat.
The “Belle” is our newest ship, launched in 2015. At 147 feet she is a big, beautiful and very popular liveaboard that is more like a small ship than a dive boat. Guests enjoy ultra-quiet rooms, spaciousness and comfortable, stabilized crossings.
Formerly the Undersea Hunter of Cocos Island and IMAX fame, the Nautilus UnderSea is one of the most beloved live aboard dive boats in the world. With a new full-width superstructure, enclosed dive deck and lengthened to 105 ft, the UnderSea is perfect for smaller groups of just 19 divers.
Our new Gallant Lady is beautiful and combines the luxury of a Broward yacht with thoughtful liveaboard dive boat design. This 116 foot yacht features 6 large suites, accommodating 12 guests, and 1700 horsepower along with hydraulic stabilizers, speeding you wherever you want to go.
Cabo Pulmo National Park, nesting in a unique landscape shaped over the last 25,000 years, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1995 because of the significant diversity and importance of the marine species that inhabit the area. Today, the national park is home to 6,000 marine species.
What a start to the season! Andy and Luca Arnone were the first 2 sharks that showed up, with Luca staying around all day, displaying his awesome bait stealing ability. The wranglers had their work cut out for themselves.
Shaped like a missile, Shortfin Mako sharks are the fastest shark in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to 40mph. Makos may not be as big as great white sharks, but they can still grow up to a sizable 4.5 meters.
