  • SOCORRO
    GIANT MANTAS
    • Socorro is all about Giant Mantas, not the number of manta but the amazing trust they have in us. If a manta looks yo in the eye and feels that she can trust you, the most amazing interspecies interaction often follows.
  • ULTIMATE
    WHALE SHARKS
    • The highlight of every trip is jumping in the water to swim and snorkel with the friendly whale sharks of Bahia de Los Angeles. On July trips, you can expect to swim with schooling mobula rays as well!
  • SEA OF CORTEZ
    AQUARIUM OF THE WORLD
    • Meet the playful sea lions of Los Islotes, surround yourself in a tornado of big eye jacks and schools of skipjacks. Lets not forget the huge pods of dolphins, turtles, mobulas, sperm whales, gobies, the hammerhead sharks around El Bajo & Los Animas, whales of all types of descriptions, shipwrecks and night dives. And if you’re lucky, giant mantas swimming around La Reina and orcas.
  • SAN IGNACIO
    GRAY WHALES
    • This is the most amazing and spectacular whale interaction with humans on the planet. Mamas will even push their babies up against our pangas to be stroked. Be ready to create a deeply personal connection that will stay with you for a lifetime.
  • BAJA
    ULTIMATE WHALES
    • Meet the most majestic whales on the planet: Gray whales, humpbacks, blue whales, fin-back whales and whale sharks. Lets not forget about the huge pods of dolphins. Imagine combining the amazing gray whale interaction at San Ignacio Lagoon into an 8 days / 7 nights adventure at sea with all these other animals of Baja and your own spotter plane to absolutely maximize your encounters.
  • AIRPLANE SUPPORTED
    MOBULAS & ORCAS
    • Where there are schooling mobulas there can be orcas and with the help of our spotter aircraft we achieved a 78% success rate with in-water encounters in 2022. We have also encountered blue whales, solitary pregnant whale sharks, huge pods of dolphins and lots of fin whales on previous trips.
  • MARLIN & BAIT BALLS
    MEXICO SARDINE RUN
    • During October to January, a magical event happens in the nutrient rich swirling blue waters off Magdalena Bay where striped marlin gather to hunt on the second largest sardine run in the world. This thrilling underwater action is spectacular. There is an excellent chance of also seeing California sea lions, dolphin, wahoo, pelicans, different species of gulls, boobie birds, frigate birds, shearwaters and even the awe inspiring albatross.

Day one – Well after being forced into going to Mexico to see great white sharks, which in truth makes me feel like I’m pathetic doing this for the love of my friends, I’m sitting here typing after the first day thinking I am never going to have as an exciting day in my life […]

  • 2 Comments on Annual Shipyard Refit Continues – How do we get the Ships out of the Water?
By Nautilus Staff on July 12th, 2017 in Captain Mike, Crew

I often get asked how the heck we get a 1 million pound plus dive boat out of the water…Good question!! We have used a number of different techniques over the years from a “railway” which is indeed just as it sounds – a railway track into the water with massive supports, and a heavy […]

Shipyard renovation and refit of the Nautilus Undersea continues – whoohooo! The featured photo is of the new main salon under construction that will extend aft into the old dive deck, with a separate lounge sitting area with big comfy couches on one side and dining room on the other side. Most exciting of all […]

Shipyard madness before start of Guadalupe great white shark season! Well, it’s refit – ie. that time of the year when all 3 ships get pulled out of the water for shaves and haircuts (which is what sailors call cleaning up their ship and painting the bottom), engine replacement, major overhauls, upgrades and lots of […]

To Whom It May Concern: This trip was perfect. Why? 1. The Mantas – This was a religious experience. It was as if they came just for us. So personal, so touching, so perfect. I could not have imagined. 2. The Crew – This is a family. Every ten days they get their hearts broken. […]

By Nautilus Staff on June 27th, 2017 in Guests, Socorro

I had a spectacular trip to the islands around Socorro, and in a large part due to the entire crew of the Belle Amie. One divemaster in particular, Damian, made my diving a great experience while in the water. His enthusiasm for diving and life in general makes me smile every time I see him […]

I've been to Roca Partida before but the first dive of the day was one of those dives that are simply magic. Leaving you with that special feeling only a few dives over the years will give you to remember forever. Roca Partida, Baja California, Mexico.

I’ve been to Roca Partida before but the first dive of the day was one of these dives that are simply magic. Leaving you with that special feel only a few dives over the years will give you to remember forever. We dove in only two of us and had the ocean all to ourselves. […]
