Great trip, on a very nice ship with an extremely nice crew!! Everything went smoothly, dive sites were amazing, so much marine life from tiny to bigger creatures (even got a glimpse of a couple of hammerheads). But definitely, the stars are the sea lions, they’re cheering up all the dives, such lovely and playful creatures. I absolutely recommend this trip to the Sea of Cortez and Nautilus is the best company. Thanks for everything,
Read MoreAmazing dives in Los Islotes between herrings and sea lions. Sometimes the feeling of being in an aquarium was amazing as the visibility and the light. Beautiful sunset and sunrise, great boat, and crew… just want to come back.
Read MoreThe Gallant Lady provided spacious cabins, delicious food, and excellent diving in the Sea of Cortez. We were blown away by the playful sea lions who loved to interact with divers – they ranged from small pups to enormous bulls who still manage to move gracefully underwater. The Sea of Cortez is alive with all types of corals and beautiful reef fish. We saw many types of eels, some good-sized sea turtles, and a very well-camouflaged sea horse. We highly recommend this boat, the friendly and attentive crew, helpful divemasters, and captain. Thank you, Gallant Lady!
Read MoreWhen humans see dolphins, their reaction is predictably giddy. One might think it’s because the dolphins jump gracefully, or perhaps that their mouths look to be smiling. Maybe it’s simple mammalian kinship passed down through eons. What’s more likely is that dolphins are simply just as curious as we are. Their curiosity acts as a mirror to amplify our delight at the playful antics around the boat.
Read MoreThank you to the crew of Nautilus Gallant Lady. They did an amazing job making sure we had all the comforts plus the best diving spots. Our dive masters Juan and Mario made sure we were safe underwater and were there to help us out with our buoyancy control. Our host Silvia was amazing with greeting us pre-dive with water and fruit smoothies or hot drinks after each dive. Felipe, our cook treated us with delicious meals, cookies, and snacks. Gabriel, our engineer was very attentive to make sure we were comfy with room temperature. Our Captain Gordon and Second Mate Yann made our voyage very smooth. Brett and I are enjoying the trip very much thanks to all the first-class attention to all details for the trip. Thank you for a memorable experience!
Read MoreFor a first-time long dive trip, I’ve experienced the best of the best on the Nautilus Gallant Lady. Everything was thought of and more. If you didn’t think it, they did and more. Our dive masters, Juan and Mario took very good care of us and made us feel secure, safe, and more importantly, adventurous. Dive after dive was a new adventure and different terrain.
Read MoreThis was my second liveaboard dive trip on the Nautilus ‘Gallant Lady’. The first was in October 2019…this one was in October 2022. It surpassed all expectations (which is crazy…because the first trip was perfect!). Juan David and Mario were fantastic dive masters. Their skill, knowledge, and expertise brought comfort and assuredness to guests divers, of all experience levels. I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing my first hammerhead shark!
