Dive Area & Sites

The Nautilus Gallant Lady offers year-round diving adventures in the Sea of Cortez, a region renowned for its incredible marine biodiversity. From May to October, the liveaboard explores the northern Sea of Cortez, based out of Bahia de Los Angeles. This area is famous for hosting the largest aggregations of whale sharks, providing incredible opportunities for close encounters. Divers can also look forward to interactions with playful sea lions and, for the lucky few, a chance to observe Humboldt squid during thrilling night dives. As the season transitions from September to December, the vessel relocates south to the thriving Cabo Pulmo Marine Park. Often referred to as a 'mini-Galapagos,' Cabo Pulmo boasts a remarkable recovery story and is now home to an abundance of marine life. Here, divers can regularly spot bull sharks, tiger sharks, and sea lions, alongside massive schools of fish and graceful manta rays. The diverse itineraries ensure that every trip with the Nautilus Gallant Lady delivers a memorable Mexico dive experience, promising encounters with an array of captivating underwater creatures.
