This roomy boat was custom outfitted by divers for divers, delivering high-adrenaline trips with outstanding service above and below water, and a nearly 1:1 crew to guest ratio.

Whether you're new to liveaboard diving or a seasoned pro, the Nautilus Explorer is guaranteed to impress!
The Nautilus Explorer is happy to offer diverse itineraries catering to a wide variety of guests. Whether you're an intermediate explorer, shark fanatic, or independent and advanced diver, you're guaranteed to find your perfect fit! Choose between voyages to Mexico's most remote diving regions known for chilly water, powerful Pacific currents, and potentially challenging surface conditions - and great white shark focused excursions ideal for underwater photographers.
