Magdalena Bay

Trip highlights: shark action, dolphins, whales, schooling fish & big pelagics, non diving activities

Diving environment: advanced divers, off the beaten track

Dive sites and activities: Snorkelling, free-diving and scuba diving in Magdalena Bay, SS Independence and USS Seawolf

Day 1
Guests meet at the Nautilus dive center in Cabo San Lucas on the day of departure to complete check-in procedures and collect any pre-arranged rental equipment. Boarding of Nautilus Under Sea takes place in the early evening, followed by an onboard orientation. As guests settle into their cabins, lunch and dinner are served on board while the liveaboard departs Cabo San Lucas and begins the approximately 15-hour crossing toward Magdalena Bay.

Core Days
These days of the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard focus on the waters off Magdalena Bay during October and November, when seasonal upwellings create highly productive conditions. This period coincides with the second-largest sardine run in the world, drawing significant concentrations of striped marlin that actively hunt dense bait balls. The interaction between predators and prey creates fast-moving underwater scenes that are among the most distinctive natural events in the eastern Pacific.
While snorkeling or freediving is often the preferred way to observe bait ball activity due to the speed and shallow nature of the action, the itinerary also includes multiple scuba diving opportunities across the region. Diving sites feature large schools of fish, turtles, and reef-associated species, as well as encounters with pelagic fish attracted by the nutrient-rich waters. Historic wreck dives form part of the experience, including a World War I-era submarine and the passenger steamship SS Independence, both offering a combination of marine growth and historical interest.
Marine life sightings extend well beyond the bait balls. California sea lions are frequently encountered, along with pods of dolphins and species such as wahoo and other open-water predators. Seasonal whale activity adds another layer to the experience, with humpback whales migrating through the area at this time of year. Sightings of larger whale species are possible but remain dependent on natural conditions. Above the surface, the area supports abundant seabird life, including pelicans, gulls, boobies, frigate birds, shearwaters, and albatross, reflecting the overall productivity of the ecosystem.

Final Day
Nautilus Under Sea returns to Cabo San Lucas in the morning. After a final breakfast on board, guests disembark and can arrange taxi transfers to local hotels or the airport. Afternoon flights are recommended to allow sufficient time following the return to port.

Enjoy a relaxed cocktail hour on deck as the crew welcomes you and completes final preparations. Once underway, a freshly prepared dinner is served as the lights of Cabo fade into the distance. Later in the evening, Nautilus Under Sea departs Cabo San Lucas and begins the overnight crossing into the Sea of Cortez. As you rest, the boat moves toward some of the region’s most remote and biodiverse dive sites.

Core Diving Days
The core days of this liveaboard safari focus on scuba diving the southern Sea of Cortez, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its biodiversity, nutrient-rich waters, and dramatic underwater landscapes. Diving typically includes up to 4 dives per day, carefully planned around local conditions to maximize underwater time and site quality.
Dive sites may include offshore seamounts, rocky pinnacles, reefs, and island systems that attract a wide range of pelagic and reef species. Seasonal highlights from mid-May to July include large aggregations of mobula rays, which are a major draw in this region. During this period, encounters with large marine life become more frequent, and divers may also observe dolphins, sea turtles, schooling fish, and various shark species. Hammerhead sharks are often seen around sites such as El Bajo and Los Animas, while sea lions are a regular feature at Los Islotes. La Reina is known for manta ray activity, and selected dives may include shipwrecks and night diving when conditions allow.
Diving is supported by experienced guides with strong local knowledge, and spotter planes may be used on some itineraries to help locate large pelagic activity at the surface, enhancing opportunities for in-water encounters while remaining dependent on natural conditions.

Final Day
The liveaboard returns to Cabo San Lucas in the morning, you will enjoy a final breakfast onboard. After disembarkation, guests are transferred to local hotels or the airport.

Sea of Cortez South (Adventure) (8 Days / 7 Nights - 24 Dives)

Dive sites and activities: La Paz, Las Animas, La Reina, El Bajo, Espiritu Santo, San Franciscito, Loreto National Park: Coronada, Danzante, Carmen islands; San Pedro Martir. Kayaking. paddle boarding. swimming, hike into the hills, whatever you want.

Day 1
Guests check in at the Nautilus dive center in Cabo San Lucas on the day of departure to complete formalities and confirm dive arrangements. Boarding takes place later in the day. Dinner is served on board as the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard prepares for the start of the cruise.

Core Days
This liveaboard route are dedicated to scuba diving the southern Sea of Cortez, a UNESCO World Heritage Site widely recognised for its high marine biomass, strong currents, and diverse underwater habitats.
Diving around Loreto is defined by steep walls, pinnacles, and rocky reefs that rise from deep water, creating ideal conditions for both pelagic encounters and dense reef life. Strong nutrient flow supports large schools of fish, including snapper, jacks, grunts, and sardines, which in turn attract predators such as yellowtail, tuna, and reef sharks. From mid-May to July, Loreto is especially famous for mobula ray aggregations, with rays often seen gliding in synchronized formations over deep blue water. These events are one of the region’s most iconic natural phenomena and a key highlight of the tour. Dolphins are frequently encountered, and sea lions may be seen resting on nearby islands or interacting underwater. Seasonal encounters with whale sharks are possible during the warmer months, particularly in early summer, when plankton concentrations increase. While sightings cannot be guaranteed, Loreto is considered one of the more reliable areas in the Sea of Cortez for these gentle giants during this period.
The trip may also include dives at offshore seamounts such as El Bajo and Los Animas, where hammerhead sharks are sometimes encountered on deeper profiles, particularly where currents bring cooler, nutrient-rich water. Other sites offer calmer conditions, ideal for extended bottom time and observing macro life such as nudibranchs, blennies, and crustaceans hiding among volcanic rock formations.

Day 8
The liveaboard returns to port in the morning. Guests enjoy a final breakfast on board before disembarkation. Transfers to local hotels or the airport can be arranged, with afternoon departures recommended. Please note: these diving tours use either of the ports of Cabo San Lucas and La Paz. Details will be provided for your trip.

Sea of Cortez South (Mobula & Whale Shark Special)

Dive sites and activities: La Paz, Las Animas, La Reina, El Bajo, Espiritu Santo, San Franciscito, Loreto, San Pedro Martir, Bahia de Los Angeles. Kayaking, going ashore, hiking in the desert, snorkelling, paddleboarding, whatever you want.

Day 1
Your expedition begins with a late afternoon check-in at SeeCreatures, the Nautilus dive center in Cabo San Lucas. After settling any final details, you'll join the complimentary coach transfer north to La Paz. As you step aboard the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard, the crew welcomes you on deck. Once provisioning is complete, the yacht slips its moorings and heads into the Sea of Cortez. Dinner is served as the sun sets over the water, followed by a safety briefing and a chance to meet your fellow guests.

Core Days
The week that follows is shaped by a rare seasonal overlap. July and August bring 2 of the Sea of Cortez's most sought-after visitors into the same waters: orcas in the south and large aggregations of whale sharks in the remote Bahia de Los Angeles to the north. The captain and guides use daily reports, including support from spotter planes, to decide whether to head north first or concentrate on the south, always aiming to put you in the best position for encounters.
In the southern Sea of Cortez, the focus is on locating orcas. Multiple pods frequent these latitudes during summer, sometimes drawn by the presence of mobula rays or other prey. Encounters are never guaranteed, but when a dorsal fin slices the surface, the day's rhythm shifts. The crew operates within Mexican regulations, ensuring any time spent near them is respectful. The same waters hold other pelagic possibilities: hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen at Las Animas and El Bajo, while giant mantas glide through the blue at La Reina. Sea lions at Los Islotes offer reliable, playful interactions between the bigger encounters.
When the decision is made to go north, the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard sets a course for Bahia de Los Angeles. Here, between 80 and 220 whale sharks often gather in summer, feeding on plankton-rich upwellings. Snorkelling alongside these fish is a meditative experience - their size and slow, deliberate movements create a sense of calm that stays with you. Finback whales, second in size only to blues, are also seen in these latitudes, along with pilot whales and large pods of dolphins.
En route north or south, the safari includes some of the Sea of Cortez's classic dive sites. Isla San Pedro Martir, sometimes called the jewel of the sea, rises from deep water where upwellings fuel dense food chains. The diving here is defined by steep walls, schooling fish, and the possibility of encountering sharks or large rays. Loreto National Park offers a mix of underwater topography, with pinnacles, reefs, and even a shipwreck, alongside the chance to step ashore on deserted beaches or hike into the desert landscape. At Espiritu Santo, you can kayak or paddleboard in calm coves, or simply float at the surface watching sea lions arc past.
Between dives, the rhythm is unhurried. Meals are served on deck, the hot tub offers a place to stretch out, and the skiffs are always ready for another launch if something is spotted on the horizon. Evenings might bring night snorkels if mobulas are present, attracted by lights suspended off the stern, a quiet, luminous counterpoint to the day's activity.

Final Day
On the last morning, the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard will be moored in La Paz. After a final breakfast, you'll disembark and transfer by coach to Cabo San Lucas or directly to the airport.
Note: some trips use Cabo San Lucas as the start or end port - please check the specific voyage details.

Sea of Cortez South (Whale Shark Special) (8 Days / 7 Nights - 24 Dives)

Trip highlights: whale sharks, shark action, dolphins, manta rays, seals/sea lions, schooling fish & big pelagics, non diving activities

Diving environment: advanced divers, beginner divers, drift diving, wall diving

Dive sites and activities: La Paz, Bahia de Los Angeles, Las Animas, San Pedro Martir, La Reina, Espiritu Santo, San Franciscito, Loreto. Spotter planes, snorkel with whale sharks, beachcombing.

Day 1
Your adventure begins with a late afternoon check-in at the Nautilus dive center in Cabo San Lucas. After settling any final details, you’ll join the complimentary coach transfer north to La Paz. As you step aboard the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard, the crew welcomes you on the aft deck. With formalities complete and your cabin sorted, you can relax as the yacht slips its moorings and heads into the night toward the southern Sea of Cortez. Dinner is served once the liveaboard is underway, a chance to meet fellow divers and review the week ahead with the guides.

Core Days
Over the following days, the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard sets a pace designed to immerse you in one of the world’s most dynamic marine environments. The itinerary balances underwater exploration with time to absorb the raw beauty of the Baja California peninsula. The captain and dive guides remain flexible, adjusting the route to match conditions and animal movements, ensuring you spend your time where the action is.
A defining highlight of this special cruise is the chance to snorkel with whale sharks. In the nutrient-rich waters around Bahia de Los Angeles, these gentle giants gather in numbers. From the dive deck, you’ll slip into the water alongside them, watching their spotted backs and wide mouths filter the plankton-rich surface. Spotter planes may be used to help locate these aggregations, adding a sense of purpose to each day’s plan. The same upwellings that attract the whale sharks also draw other giants; it’s not uncommon to see finback or sperm whales blowing on the horizon.
Below the surface, the diversity is striking. At offshore seamounts like San Pedro Martir and La Reina, you can drift along walls encrusted with life, where sea lions may buzz past and schools of jacks circle in the blue. Hammerhead sharks are occasional visitors to these cleaner stations, particularly around Las Animas, and mantas are known to glide effortlessly over the reefs at La Reina. The volcanic pinnacle of San Franciscito offers a different mood: a tower of rock rising from depth, cloaked in black coral and swaying gorgonians, with turtles resting in the shallows above.
Further north, the islands of Espiritu Santo and Los Islotes present classic Sea of Cortez diving. Here, the sea lion colonies are boisterous and curious, often descending from their haul-outs to investigate divers with acrobatic spins. When conditions allow, night dives reveal a different cast: octopus, eels, and the subtle movements of crustaceans emerging from the reef.
Between dives, there is time to appreciate the region above the waterline. Loreto, a town flanked by rugged mountains and desert, offers a chance to step ashore. The beaches here are often empty, their white sand meeting clear, calm water - ideal for a quiet afternoon of beachcombing or simply watching the light shift across the landscape. The islands themselves are sanctuaries for birdlife; blue-footed boobies perform their comical courtship dances on the cliffs, while brown pelicans patrol the shorelines.

Day 8
On the last morning, the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard will moor in the marina at La Paz. After a final breakfast, you'll disembark and transfer by coach to Cabo San Lucas, arriving in time for afternoon flights or onward connections.
Note: this itinerary sometimes uses the Cabo San Lucas as its start or end port - check your trip for precise port details.

Sea of Cortez South & Socorro (12 Days / 11 Nights - 17 Dives)

Trip highlights: whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, shark action, dolphins, manta rays, whales, seals/sea lions, schooling fish & big pelagics

Diving environment: advanced divers, beginner divers, drift diving, off the beaten track, wall diving

Dive sites and activities: Socorro Islands: San Benedicto, Roca Partida, Socorro; Sea of Cortez locations are flexible, depending on where the aerial support finds the mobulas and orcas. Often the best area is the triangle near La Paz between Espiritu Santo, Carpenter Rock (on the west side of Cerralvo), and Las Ventanas on Baja California

Days 1-2
This combination adventure gets underway in Cabo San Lucas. Make your way to the Nautilus dive base, SeeCreatures, on the first day. Arrive with time to spare, and you can leave your luggage, take a stroll through town, or take part in the complimentary photo workshop. At 8 pm, you board the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard. Following a mandatory safety briefing, the vessel clears the marina and begins the 24-hour passage to the Revillagigedo Archipelago. The following day is a relaxed one at sea: attend a manta ecology talk, get your gear organised, and as evening falls, keep an eye on the horizon for the green flash at sunset while the islands take shape in the distance.

Core Days
The first half of the liveaboard itinerary is dedicated to the remote volcanic islands of the Socorro Archipelago. Over several days, you'll dive San Benedicto, Socorro, and the tiny pinnacle of Roca Partida. Each site offers a distinct flavour of big-animal encounter. The crew structures each day to offer up to 4 dives, using skiffs to shuttle divers based on experience and comfort.
At San Benedicto, the landmark site is El Canyon, though most divers know it simply as the Boiler. This submerged rocky pinnacle is a cleaning station for the giant oceanic mantas that have made the region famous. They arrive with regularity, often circling divers for minutes. The mantas here are accustomed to divers, and encounters can be remarkably close and prolonged. Nearby, the Canyon itself offers deeper profiles where hammerheads sometimes cruise along the drop-off.
Around Socorro Island, sites like Cabo Pearce and Punta Tosca present volcanic seascapes draped in black coral and home to large schools of jacks and snapper. Bottlenose dolphins are frequent visitors, occasionally approaching divers with clear curiosity. During the winter and spring months, humpback whales use these waters for breeding, and it is not uncommon to hear their songs underwater or encounter them on the surface between dives.
Then there is Roca Partida. This rock pinnacle rises from deep water with walls plunging into the blue. The current can be strong, and the diving is magic pelagic. Galapagos sharks patrol the perimeter in loose aggregations, joined by silky sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and the occasional silvertip or hammerhead. Schools of tuna and jacks flash past, and mantas glide along the walls.
Once the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard turns back toward the Baja peninsula, the character of the expedition evolves. Ahead lies the Sea of Cortez and a encounter with 2 of its most emblematic seasonal visitors: mobula rays and orcas. During late spring and summer, immense aggregations of mobulas, each ray spanning over a metre, frequent these waters. One of the enduring mysteries here is their tendency to launch themselves clear of the surface, a spectacle that is as unexplained as it is thrilling to witness. While the emphasis is on snorkelling and freediving among these gatherings, certified divers with their own equipment can also get in the water when conditions align.
To pinpoint the densest schools, the vessel benefits from aerial support. Spotter planes relay real-time information to the captain and guides, helping them focus on the most promising zones - often a stretch of sea bounded by Espiritu Santo, the western flank of Cerralvo Island (known locally as Carpenter Rock), and Las Ventanas on the mainland. When a large group is located, guests board the fast RHIB in small rotations for quiet, low-impact approaches. The aim is to enter the water discreetly and swim alongside the rays as they move through their element. It can take a few tries before the mobulas become comfortable with your presence; patience and a calm approach are rewarded.
Orcas add another layer of possibility. Several pods are known to work these latitudes during the season, sometimes following the mobula aggregations. Sightings are never something we can promise, but if a dorsal fin cuts the surface, the day’s focus shifts immediately. Beyond orcas, you might cross paths with humpback whales, sperm whales, or large pods of bottlenose and spinner dolphins.
As the afternoon light softens, there is room to slow down. The yacht carries kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for exploring sheltered inlets, or you can simply stay put—soak in the hot tub, find a quiet corner of the shaded lounge, or stretch out on the sun deck with a book. Evenings introduce a different kind of magic. In a calm, protected bay, the crew suspends lights off the stern, drawing plankton and, in turn, mobula rays toward the surface. Watching them swim through the illuminated water from the platform or while snorkelling is a quiet, surreal counterpoint to the day’s adventures.

Day 12
On the last morning, the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard docks in Cabo San Lucas. After a final breakfast, you'll disembark and transfer to the airport or into town.
Note: this combination itinerary uses both La Paz and Cabo San Lucas as operational ports at the end of the trip so please check the specific voyage details.

Socorro Islands

Trip highlights: whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, shark action, dolphins, manta rays, whales, schooling fish & big pelagics

Diving environment: advanced divers, drift diving, off the beaten track, wall diving

Dive sites and activities: San Benedicto, Roca Partida, Socorro Island

Days 1-2
Your dive expedition begins in Cabo San Lucas. Plan to check in at the Nautilus dive center, SeeCreatures, by early evening on day one. If you arrive earlier, you can drop your bags and explore town, or join the complimentary photo workshop to fine-tune your camera settings with the onboard pro. At 8 pm, you'll step aboard the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard. After a safety briefing, the yacht departs for the 24-hour crossing to the Revillagigedo Archipelago. Day two is spent at sea and a chance to settle in, attend a manta ecology briefing, and watch for the green flash at sunset as the islands rise on the horizon.

Core Days
Over the next five days, you'll dive some of the most remote and productive waters on Mexico's Pacific coast. The cruise visits 3 main islands: San Benedicto, Socorro, and the tiny pinnacle of Roca Partida. Each offers a different flavour of big-animal encounter, and the Nautilus Under Sea crew structures each day to offer up to 4 dives, using skiffs to shuttle divers to sites based on experience and comfort levels.
At San Benedicto, the landmark site is El Canyon, though most divers know it simply as the Boiler. This submerged rocky pinnacle is a cleaning station for the giant oceanic mantas that have made the archipelago famous. They arrive with regularity, often circling divers for minutes at a time, their wingspans easily reaching 5 metres or more. The mantas here are accustomed to divers, and encounters can be remarkably close and prolonged. Nearby, the Canyon itself offers deeper profiles where hammerheads sometimes cruise along the drop-off.
Around Socorro Island, sites like Cabo Pearce and Punta Tosca present volcanic seascapes draped in black coral and home to large schools of jacks and snapper. Bottlenose dolphins are frequent visitors, occasionally approaching divers with clear curiosity. From January to April, humpback whales use these waters for breeding, and it is not uncommon to hear their songs underwater or encounter them on the surface between dives.
Then there is Roca Partida. This rock pinnacle rises from deep water with no shallow reef system - just walls plunging into the blue. The current can be strong, and the diving is purely pelagic. Galapagos sharks patrol the perimeter in loose aggregations, joined by silky sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and the occasional silvertip or hammerhead. Schools of tuna and jacks swirl past, and mantas glide along the walls. The site is small, and when conditions are calm, several boats may be present; park regulations then limit the number of dives, but the quality of the encounter rarely diminishes.
Throughout the week, the liveaboard crew balances diving with other activities. There are opportunities to kayak, paddleboard, or take shoreline walks on Socorro. Late afternoons often include manta identification sessions, and after dinner, there might be presentations on the region's natural history. Between dives, the sun deck and hot tub offer space to rest, and the air-conditioned saloon provides a quiet retreat.

Final Day
The Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard arrives back in Cabo San Lucas mid-morning. After a final breakfast, you'll disembark and transfer to the airport or into town.

Socorro Islands & Magdalena Bay (16 Days / 15 Nights - 29 Dives)

Trip highlights: whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, shark action, dolphins, manta rays, whales, seals/sea lions, schooling fish & big pelagics

Diving environment: advanced divers, drift diving, off the beaten track, wall diving

Dive sites and activities: Socorro Islands: San Benedicto, Roca Partida, Socorro. Snorkelling, free-diving and scuba diving in Magdalena Bay, SS Independence and USS Seawolf.

Days 1-2
Your trip commences in Cabo San Lucas. Head to the Nautilus-operated SeeCreatures base by early evening on day one. If you've arrived ahead of schedule, you can leave your bags, have a wander through town, or participate in the no-cost photo workshop. At 8 pm, you'll come aboard the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard. Once everyone is settled and the safety orientation is complete, the boat departs on its overnight crossing to the Revillagigedo Archipelago. The following day is given over to life at sea: you might attend a talk on manta behaviour, prep your dive kit, or simply find a spot on deck as the sun sets.

Core Days
The 2 weeks ahead are built around 2 distinct marine environments, each with its own character and cast of animals.
For the first several days, the focus is on the Revillagigedo Islands - San Benedicto, Socorro, and the fabled rock of Roca Partida. These remote outposts are defined by big-water encounters. At San Benedicto, the site divers simply call the Boiler is a submerged pinnacle where giant mantas congregate to be cleaned. They appear with reassuring frequency, often hanging midwater as divers watch. These fish are habituated to divers, and encounters can be intimate and unhurried. Not far away, the deeper recesses of El Canyon sometimes reveal scalloped hammerheads moving through the blue.
Socorro Island offers sites like Cabo Pearce and Punta Tosca, where lava flows form the backdrop for clouds of jacks and snapper. Bottlenose dolphins pass through regularly, and on occasion they approach closely, apparently curious about their visitors. Between January and April, humpback whales are present, and it's not rare to hear their songs reverberating through the water column.
Then comes Roca Partida. This is a sheer-sided pinnacle with no shallow shelf, just walls that plummet into the abyss. Currents pick up here, and the diving is pure pelagic. Galapagos sharks hold station in the flow, joined by silky sharks, whitetips, and sometimes silvertips or hammerheads. Schools of tuna streak past, and mantas patrol the rock's flanks.
As the Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard turns back toward the mainland, the scenery shifts to the waters off Magdalena Bay. This leg operates during October and November, when upwellings fuel one of the hemisphere's most significant sardine runs. The result is a concentration of life that draws striped marlin in numbers - predators working the edges of immense bait balls in fast-moving, surface-oriented action.
Snorkelling and freediving are often the most effective ways to witness these events, given their speed and depth, though scuba diving is also part of the schedule. The area offers reef dives with turtles and schooling fish, as well as 2 wreck sites of historical note: the World War I-era submarine and the passenger steamer SS Independence. Diving the USS Seawolf adds further dimension, blending marine growth with a sense of the region's maritime past.
The bait balls are the headline, but they're far from the whole story. California sea lions are common, pods of dolphin move through, and wahoo and other pelagics are never far off. Humpback whales are on the move through these waters at this time of year, and while sightings of larger whales can't be guaranteed, the possibility adds to the sense of anticipation. Above the surface, the richness of the sea expresses itself in the birds: boobies, shearwaters, frigate birds, and albatross work the same nutrient-rich patches.
Kayaks and paddleboards are available for quiet coves, and shore landings offer a change of perspective when conditions allow. Late afternoons might bring informal manta ID sessions or conversations about the day's sightings.

Day 16
The Nautilus Under Sea liveaboard docks in Cabo San Lucas on the final morning. After one last breakfast on board, guests go ashore and can arrange onward travel to the airport or a local hotel.
