Nautilus Under Sea
Socorro Liveaboard Diving
Nautilus Under Sea, from the renowned Nautilus fleet of Mexico liveaboards, is a 90 foot (27m), steel-hulled motor yacht, cruising some of the best sites of Mexico’s Pacific coast, including Socorro and Guadalupe islands.
Although not a huge boat, there is plenty of space on board for the maximum of 18 guests. There is a range of en-suite cabins across 3 decks, all with individual air-conditioning. The main socializing areas are the comfortable air-conditioned saloon/dining area on the main deck and the shaded ‘al fresco’ lounge on the sun deck. The sun deck also features a hot tub and several sun loungers where you can stretch out and work on your tan.
Communication features include wi-fi internet and satellite phone, so if you are far at sea around Socorro or Guadalupe, you can still stay connected. On the scuba diving side, you will appreciate the spacious and well-organized dive deck, individual storage spaces, and large camera table with hoses. There is also nitrox available on board and Nautilus Under Sea is re-breather friendly.
