Safety First, Always

Uncompromising safety. Safety is
something we take very seriously.

All of our ships are ISM-certified under external annual
audit by classification society. This is the same safety
certification as the largest passenger ships and tankers
and is unique to us in the dive industry.

Our ships were constructed with careful consideration
of non-combustible materials and are all equipped
with sprinkler systems, redundant smoke detectors
wired to wheelhouse alarm panels, emergency
lighting, and firefighting SCBA gear. Each component
is a part of our compliance with SOLAS fire and
lifesaving requirements. We are very proud that
Nautilus Explorer was the first SOLAS-safety-certified
dive boat in the world.

You can expect to see your crew perform a fire
drill when you are onboard and we will be sure to
demonstrate all the emergency exits during your safety
briefing. We even equip each guest and crew berth
with individual EEBD emergency devices. We don’t just
talk about safety. We invest in safety and live it 24/7.
