Captains Noon Report – Undersea January 22, 2019 - - Undersea - What a great way to finish the trip with four dives full of Mantas

Captain’s Noon Report – Belle Amie January 21, 2019 - - Four large tuna were hunting with the Amberjack and that excited the white tip reef sharks and they came off the ledges. Silver tips were active in the blue. Some guests had three mantas with them as well.

Captain’s Noon Report – Under Sea January 21, 2019 - - You could clearly see how happy all divers were as soon as they were coming out of water. These mantas were really playful and stayed close to the divers, I even heard some of them saying this was the "best dive ever".

Mantas and Dolphins Put on a Spectacular Show January 21, 2019 - - My mask was filled with the sight of dolphins and mantas happily interacting with divers for the entire dive.

Incredible Diversity in the Revillagigedo Archipelago January 18, 2019 - - El Canyon was incredible with the diversity including a school of hammerheads, a few juvenile silvertips, a couple of really big Galapagos sharks, some juvenile Dusky sharks, a few chevron mantas and 2 amazing tiger sharks.

One of my favourite animals is the giant manta. Yesterday I saw one in its natural habitat for the first time. I found a couple in the first dive, they were kind of shy. I was wondering if it was Nautilus’ marketing strategy to say “The friendliest mantas”… then the second dive came along. A manta bigger than I could imagine stayed with us for 40 minutes, circling the group, getting as close as half a meter. You could see it enjoyed our bubbles, our presence. It was truly a friendly manta, welcoming us into its home and having “spa day” with our bubbles.

From day 1 the crew has been simply fantastic. Beds are comfortable and A/C in rooms works. No complainants with the food. Service has been utterly the best, our hostess are “A” list, # 1. The dive staff well what can you say about such wonderful, enjoyable personalities. They are great at their jobs. Finally, the guest of honor the sharks… Well they must have been really practicing because they performed beyond all expectations. Sharks everywhere, such a blast. I will close with a simple comment, Martyn for President!

The crew prepping the dive deck at the crack of dawn was a sight to see, I enjoy seeing process. In the middle of all the busy work – was Lieke from Nautilus crew walking with a tray of cups and coffee to offer guests. I told myself: “This is crazy dedication to customer service seeing this in the middle of busy work”. I would never have expected that level of service and welcome. The process of preparation was like clockwork and entertaining to watch, great job to all Nautilus crew!

Our Values – Our Culture

Built for Safety

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.

Our commitment to safety >

Excellence in Guest Experience

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.
