Amazing communication, safety, and comfort!
I had a wonderful experience with Divebooker and Nautilus. I am a solo female traveler and I couldn't have felt safer. The communication was wonderful from the time of booking until the end of the trip. I was extremely satisfied and didn't want to leave. I will certainly be diving and booking with Divebooker and Nautilus again.

Mantastic diving, amazing Captain, crew and dive guides
Great Socorro trip in May 2024! We had oceanic mantas on every single dive (19 dives in total)! At the Boiler, we had 5 mantas circling us during the whole dive, and mantas kept us company during the other 3 dives of the day. Glorious last day of diving! We saw many species of sharks all week long although in small numbers (Galapagos sharks, white tips, silvertips, hammerheads, one tiger shark). Very playful bottlenose dolphins came during one dive very close to all divers. We saw literally hundreds of tunas passing on several dives, walls of bonitos, big schools of jackfish, wahoos everyday, the biggest lobsters I have ever seen on every dive site walking around freely, lots of tropical fish, octopus, nudibranchs, starfish, small anemones, corals, stingray, torpedo ray etc. One group even spotted false killer whales on the surface! Revillagigedos (aka Socorro) is an underwater paradise that never ceases to surprise me. Nautilus Belle Amie is the most spacious and most comfortable boat in the Nautilus fleet in my opinion. Large dining area, comfortable twins cabins in the lower deck. Plenty of hot water for the shower, quiet individual AC, very good safety features (fire alarms, fire extinguishers, safety drills, life raft, life jacket, strong and steady steel vessel etc.), very good crew with very kind and caring hostesses Mariella and Fernanda, very friendly and safe dive team (Juan-David, Daniel, Imanol and Eline), super sweet and very experienced Captain Beto :) I felt I was in very safe and warm hands the whole trip <3 Water temps ranged from 23° C (73° F) to 26° C (79° F) depending on the dive site, the visibility varied from 15 to 30 m. We had smooth 24 hrs+ crossings on both ways, mostly flat seas for the dives and plenty of sunshine. There is a warm jacuzzi on the top deck to warm up after a dive or to enjoy some more bubbles. Food was buffet style for lunch (though no much choice of food compared to liveaboards in other parts of the world). I regret that is is mostly American style food (steak, hamburger etc.). I wish we could have spicy Mexican options at every meal, including breakfast, like some other liveaboards in Socorro. The chefs did a great job nonetheless to provide veggie guests with suitable dishes. I really enjoyed some of the desserts at dinner. I highly recommend diving Revillagigedos on Nautilus Belle Amie and I hope to be back someday for more adventures in this exciting part of the World.

Had an amazing week of diving on the Nautilus Belle Amie. The entire crew is great. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Guides were very knowledgeable and passionate. Boat is a little dated and could use a little facelift, but nothing that would ruin your vacation. Diving was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend!
