Diving guides are so good, saw sharks and rays almost every dive.
My trip was Dec 03, 2017 to Dec 10, 2017. During these 7 days, I felt amazed for the marine life. Our diving guides, Hampek and Yaan, were very professional for the local diving route. They were aware of which points have more chance to see sharks, sting rays, and manta rays, and it really worked. This time, most of my diving partners came from Germany. We had a good time enjoying seafari. Every night we laid on board, sharing previous experience and suggestions. Maybe in the feature, if I plan to visit Maldives again, I would take a deep south seafari route or stay on some specific islands. This was an amazing trip !!! Shang Wang

Exceptionally varied dew safari with some highlights
From the organization, such as the pick-up directly from the airport, to the very well guided dives, to the good cuisine, to the "deco beer", everything is fine. If you are planning a dew safari in the Maldives and don't have to have 5 stars, the Nautilus One or TWOin good hands. Safari with Nautilus has a "family" touch.All 15 divers on board really enjoyed our tour. We had "enough" shark sightings, manta rays in "abundance" and there was also a wreck. This was already the second trip of our group on the Nautiluns.Well then, have fun and "good air".
