How to get there: The MV Nautilus Gallant Lady liveaboard departs in the afternoon from Cabo San Lucas for safaris to the southern areas of the Sea of Cortez. Guests fly into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), approximately 45 minutes drive from Cabo San Lucas.
You must meet at the Cabo Dive Center no later than 11 am on the morning of boarding. It is located next to the Tesoro Hotel on the walkway of Cabo Marina. Ideally you should arrive the previous day and drop by the dive center as soon as you get to town to make sure you are fully prepared for the trip. A warm-up dive is conducted at Cabo San Lucas before lunch (with vouchers) in a nearby restaurant before boarding Nautilus Gallant Lady around 14:30 hrs. The boat sets sail that afternoon and you can enjoy cocktails as the boat heads north.
The last dive of the trip will be at around 5 pm on the second last day of the trip. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving. You will disembark at around 8 am on the morning of the last day. We recommend you book any outwards flights on that day no earlier than 11 am.
