Amazing Experience. MUST TRY - It was one of the amazing experience. Everything was perfect. The pick-up was on Time. Great Program for a non diver. They will give you a training before you dive in. Everyone was super sweet. I had an awesome instructor, Giovanni. He was very thorough. He went through all the details and trained me accordingly. I even had a practice session in a shallow water. I was nervous and had a panic attack, but he was always right there by my side. He took extra care. I am extremely grateful for him being very patient and taking care of me even under water. He checks on you regularly on how you are doing. Can't ask for more. Giovanni, you were AMAZING. Thank you for taking an extra care of me as a first-time diver. Thank you for being patient and attentive. I will highly recommend this program. You get to explore a whole new world.

Excellent experience! - It was an incredible experience! We met Izhar, who took the time to explain and teach us everything in great detail. In addition, the diving was very entertaining, it was like feeling like you were in “Finding Nemo”. The only thing I would suggest is that they offer some photos (even with separate payment) during the experience.

Very genuine and enjoyable! - The tour guides were so great! So genuine and personable. We had a great time. Me and my boyfriend were quite anxious about scuba diving, but they were very understanding and made us feel comfortable. They picked us up at our Airbnb. It was a great day!

Great Trip! - This was a great experience! I am so glad we decided to go with this company, because my husband and I got a private scuba trip with a very experienced diver. Swimming through the shipwreck was a very exciting experience, and they were plenty of fish to see.

Wonderful dive - Was definitely worth the experience. The team was great. They picked us up at our hotel and took us for a day of scuba, we went with a certified instructor who made sure we knew what we were doing before we went under. It was beautiful to see the ship wreck and all the fish. Would definitely go back again!

The perfect start for beginners - had the opportunity to dive with Nautilus during my one-day stay in Aruba. They picked me up and took me to the cruise terminal. It was my first dive in my life. Izhar deserves special thanks, who conducted the entire training and diving in super friendly and professional conditions. Thanks!

Life-changing experience!! - During our dive led by Giovanni, we fully immersed ourselves in the underwater beauty of Aruba. There were SO many wonderful fish, multi-colored reefs (blue, orange, and green corals), and even a shipwreck! It was my first time seeing a shipwreck and it was awesome that we got to swim right by it. The number of corals and fish are so much more than just snorkeling in shallow water. I dived with my sister here for her very first scuba diving experience. I previously got certified in Hawaii, but this was more beautiful and varied than most of my dives there. Giovanni and Juan did an excellent job preparing us for diving by going over the techniques and having us practice first in shallow water before heading deeper Much thanks to Giovanni for prioritizing our safety and taking these wonderful photos and videos for us! It was a life-changing experience for my sister and me!
