Socorro June 18th/28th- Nautilis explorer
Amazing trip and crew, this was a lifetime experience and I am so happy that I made the decision to go, Divebooker was easy and helpful. The Islands and sealife were as beautiful as I had hoped for. I went solo and made many friends. Going back in December!

Excellent Trip. Excellent diving. Wonderful people. Best way to dive
This was my first live aboard, and I was super impressed. The boat was very comfortable, the crew were super nice, wonderful, caring people, divemasters were fantastic, food was delicious, and diving was amazing. I can honestly say this was the best diving of my life (5 years of diving ). Highly recommended.

diving with the tram on the explorer
I found it a total pleasure diving with the team on the explorer , and it was a team even the captain got his hands dirty I have worked on various liveaboard and wow did these guys make it work , All the guides were dive professionals the captain was out of this world too and the food was well amazing , taco night was totally cool as per the diving, we rotate in groups of eight so your first one day second the next , the group's can also be split in to 3 different levels, of diver so after a good look at a map you can explore with a buddy which for me is really important . standard 32 nitrox is used it's just safer ! possible to go closed circuit as well diving was world class . But highlights for me were on the last dive being asked what cocktail you would like to be delivered to you as you get your kit off to mum in to a hot tub . full service crew so thanks to you all . my only gripe is the trip reports published on social media are perhaps a bit talked or flowered up .but all the usual suspects are there just may be not in the 1000 may be 100s if you know what I mean . And I feel an addition of a full time deck hand would take stress off of the dive crew .yann ,pa to,rondonlio and ravioli aka mirko and the rest of you guys I have never seen a crew work so hard thanks
