Not only were my expectations met, the dive crew, staff and captain of the legendary Nautilus Explorer blew my expectations out of the water. The level of service was first rate, the dive crew were not only knowledgeable but a blast to just hang out with between dives.

The captain and divemasters were all very safety conscious, and kept to the drill and diving schedules, making sure that fun was maximized while risks were minimized. The crew were hardworking yet always had smiles to greet you and clown around.

The Sea of Cortez is so full of life! We voted to snorkel with the pod of dolphins in the bay, and some of us were lucky to see a sailfish! We saw a group of sea lions diving past us like missiles and then a huge pod of dolphins emerged, circling around us in stacks up to 20 deep. THANK YOU to the wonderful crew who made these miracles possible.
– Simon, Penny, Britta, Brigitte, October 2019
The crew are truly guest-oriented and are some of the best I’ve seen in years of dive travel. The dive masters are some of the most well trained and safety-conscious I have had the pleasure of diving with. In 15 trips with Nautilus, I have never been disappointed!

Satellite stations strategically placed at the dive-sites tell us that many shark species – including silky, silvertip and hammerhead –migrate between Cocos, Galapagos, Malpelo and Socorro. They navigate the corridors between these food-rich seamounts on what is known as the Shark Highway.

Recently we spotted a large group of Sperm whales. We had to stop! We got the skiffs in the water very very quickly and told the group to just grab their mask fins and snorkel and go see them.
