Diving is without a doubt one of the only ways to see the underwater beauty of the worlds oceans. Built by divers for divers, our vessels are a labour of love. With over 23 years’ experience organizing exclusive diving adventures in Alaska, British Columbia and Mexico, the Nautilus offers a up close and personal experience with some of the worlds apex predators, great white sharks. Descend in to the blue in our custom built submersible cages, experience the great whites face to face. The very best local knowledge and professionalism to deliver a once in a life time live-aboard experience.
We are completely changing the diving to “FREESTYLE” with 3 x huge high speed ocean going RHIB inflatables on the back deck. each one with twin 200 hp engines. The concept is to book groups of 9 or 10 divers. so we might have photographers in one RHIB. rebreather divers in another. Or maybe one group of super keen divers in one RHIB who want to start diving with thresher sharks at 0600 while another group might prefer a leisurely 9:30 dive after breakfast. The point is that the NBA will be a mothership with high speed RHIBs fanning out at different times to different places with their own dedicated divemaster and skiff driver and never more than 10 divers in the water at one time at one dive site!
