Safari Liveaboard Scuba Diving

Luxury and Pursuit of Adventure . . .


The Nautilus Explorer is a luxury dive boat which specializes in pampering small groups of scuba divers on unique diving adventures up and down the west coast of North America. Experiences range from diving with great white sharks at Guadalupe Island to intimate encounters with amazingly friendly giant mantas and dolphins at Socorro Island (Revillagigedos). As you lie in your bunk at night you may well find yourself unable to sleep replaying the amazing encounters of the day and listening through the hull to the songs of humpback whales swimming around the ship... We also visit the Sea of Cortez, the California Channel Islands, Baja California, San Benitos Island and Clipperton Atoll. Our beautiful ship was custom designed and built for this work and is exceptionally comfortable with a wide, strong steel hull stabilized for a great ride. The Nautilus Explorer is very quiet and very, very safe with the same SOLAS passenger certificate and crewing requirements as the largest ocean-going cruise ships in the world. We have one of the highest "repeat guest" ratios in the business and trips usually sell out well ahead of time. We hope that you will join us and encourage you to call, email or skype us. Allow us to answer your questions, send you more information and a complimentary DVD or hopefully, book you on to your next unique diving vacation!
