This trip has been amazing! the only complaint I have now is having a hard time to figure out my next diving destination since I’ve been spoiled with such a great dives!! Mantas almost every dive, sharks constantly and even a “bad dive” we had 7 white tip sharks very active, huge black jacks very close! this is a great place to dive!

What I’ve found on this trip is equally amazing- the crew of the Nautilus Undersea. Every one is a star in their own right. The crew work HARD to ensure that every guest has the best time possible. Their collective knowledge base is enormous. They are always first up, last to bed and yet somehow always have a big smile and a helping hand for all. This crew hits it out of the park!

Everytime I think I just might be getting hungry, someone hands me a second breakfast… or another cookie. No matter how hard I try, they always seem to find me with some food. I’m afraid for next week when I leave the boat and return to my family. Will someone feed me two breakfasts per day? No. Will someone follow me around work and say “wanna cookie?” No.
My life is about to become very hard.

This is my third trip to Socorro and it did not disappoint. There is a magic to this place unlike anywhere else. The mantas and dolphins don’t just zoom by – they stop to interact with divers. The variety of sea life is overwhelming. We saw at least five different kinds of sharks, rays (including an electric ray), eels, octopus, and so many fish. It was hard to leave the water at the end of each dive. The Nautilus crew was great and they worked so hard to make sure we all got the most out of the trip. All I can say is that I will be back.

The diving sites are diverse and uniquely exceptional. The sharks and Mantas were at the majority of the sites and in abundance. Dolphins come very close to engage in some fun. I was taken aback by the Manta; had not realised they had self-awareness. That is a unique experience.

Exceeds all expectations – from the detailed, friendly service, to the outstanding food, and off the chart diving. Animals I’ve had close encounters with: Mantas, bottlenose dolphins, several schools of hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, and even a tiger shark. Dive team is incredible. A fantastic trip – thank you for making it so incredible.

Fantastic diving and accommodations. Two bucket-list diving items for me: Giant Mantas and schooling hammerheads. I can check those off my list now, along with playful dolphins, which I didn’t expect. The crew is amazing and obviously work so hard while making it seem effortless – they were always friendly and helpful and must enjoy their jobs.
