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.

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!

Learn MoreWE SAVE LIVES!! The story of the Nautilus LifeLine.Since scuba diving and snorkeling has become popular with tourists, boats have lost track of divers time and again. Divers depend on boats and their crews for access to offshore dive sites, but often, they willingly entrust their lives to operators whose attitude to safety may not stand up to scrutiny.
