Excellent Experience!!! Octavio and Alfredo took care of me (Divemaster) and my wife and we did a couple of dives in the Cenotes (Chac Mool). Highly recommend if you're looking for a safe, responsible, well-equipped dive operator. More

We had 4 really nice dives with Nautilus. The equipment was good, for the two first dives we were the only guest and we went to a really interesting wreck and a nice easy reef. Octavio took the time for an excellent briefing, probably the best and complete we ever had. He took awesome pictures of us for free and... More

We did 4 dives with Alfredo and team over two days and greatly enjoyed! They were prompt, courteous, assembled our equipment, broke it down, and cleaned it up. Above and beyond our expectations! Our dive briefings were comprehensive and prepared us for site specific conditions (strong currents that we encountered on wreck and reef dives) as well as general knowledge... More

Ok, so it was also my first one. But Alfredo was an excellent guide and trainer. He walked us all through the basics and explained the rules. He personally inspected our gear. I was the least experienced diver of the group. There were three other divers, one from Spain and 2 from England. I felt confident because of our thorough... More

Went diving for three days with Nautilus Diving guys in Cancun and I had a wonderful time. Alfredo was extremely helpful and pampered me all the way. These were some of the best dives I have done. Im still a novice, so Alfredo and Octavio always prepare me and make sure I feel comfortable. Thanks to Octavio for setting everything... More

A buddy and mine went diving with these guys. Spent one full day diving the cenotes in the jungle. As a very inexperienced cave diver, I was totally at ease following the instructions of our dive master Juan as he guided us through the maze underground. Second day we spent doing two drift dives on the Punta Negra reef just... More

Great coordination with Octavio, who made things simple and wasy. Pickup from Iberostar Cancun, and not a hiccup. Spartan shop and boat, but VERY personal attention. Whether you're an experienced diver or on your first OW dive, these guys will take care of you. If you dive with Alfredo, you'll have a new friend by the end of the day.... More

Big 'Thank you' to the guys at Nautilius Diving! Especially Octavio who helped to coordinate everything prior to our arrival and Clement our instructor! The whole day went wery smooth and everyone was very freindly. Especially if you;re a beginner what you will find very beneficial is the fact that the groups are very small and they give all the...

It's difficult to think of any way this experience could have been better - seeing a shark possibly, but I can't blame Nautilus for their absence those days. Father and 2 teenagers came to Cancun to be taught PADI Open Water. Alfredo was paternal, professional, personable and infintely patient - everything we could possibly have wanted in an experienced and... More

As promised by the wonderful Sherri (all via email), I was picked up at my resort and swiftly driven to the private dock at the Cancun Clipper Club, right across from the flea markets on the Lagoon side. That was Sunday morning at 8:45. By 10:00am, I was suited up and in the pool for the confined tests with Juan... More
