My wife and I took the beginning scuba course from Octavio on Oct 17. I decided to go with Nautilus after reading all the great reviews. We were not disappointed. He came to our hotel and escorted us back to the training site so that we wouldn't get lost. He was very careful to explain the basics of scuba (scuba... more

My husband and I did 6 dives with Octavio at the end of September. Octavio was our divemaster and he was excellent. He tailored our dives to our level of experience and our various interests. He picked us up from our hotel, which was great since we were staying 30 mins south of Cancun and the taxi rides are expensive.... more

We went with Nautilus because trip advisor rated them so highly, I'm glad we did. The staff is very professional and we had plenty of room on the dive boat. Juan is so pumped about diving that he gets everyone else excited also, the owner Octavio is a great guy and picked us up at our hotel even though that... more

My wife and I returned from Cancun on September 19, 2009. Prior to leaving and after doing some research, I contacted Octavio at Nautilus and he responded clearly and efficiently. My wife is certified to scuba and I had never dived. The minute you meet Octavio, you will feel comfortable with his dimeanor as well as confident with his experience... more

I was in Cancun, MX with 3 other non-divers in early Sept. 2009. Prior to booking with Nautilus I did my research and contacted a handful of dive operations in Cancun. I am a picky diver in that I will only dive with a group of no more than 4-5 people and require hotel pick up and drop off. After... more

My husband and I were refered to Nautilus Diving at the Clipper Club by our Apple Vacations Representative. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience. Clemente was the dive instructor and master diver. We aren't certified, so we took a lesson in the pool at the resort which was thorough and informative for the dive we would do... more

In august 2009 me and my girlfriend went diving for 3 days with Octavio in Cancun, Cozumel and in the Cenotes. We had an amazing time. Let me explain to you why.. The big advantage, which seperates Octavio from many other dive companies, is that he works with small groups. That way he can pay much attention to everyone, making... more

I booked 2 trips with Octavio during our week in Cancun this August. The first was for 3 of our group, including my 2 sons, to take the Beginner's Scuba course. This comprised some classroom instruction, followed by time in the pool learning 3 basic skills (Fin pivot, mask clearing and regulator recovery) and finished off with a trip to... more

I have been certified for 30 years, and I was an assistant instructor of the University of Florida many moons ago. I have seen many scuba certification classes, and this one is as professional and enjoyable as any I’ve seen. On a recent one week trip to Cancun, my wife and teenage daughters decided it was time to get certified... more
