It's been thirty one years since I last dived in Port Villa. I had heard a lot about Nautilus Scuba before I returned and all the reports were true. The equipment was in first order. The crew, including divemasters (Damo and Alexa) and the skippers, well trained, friendly and helpful. The dive trips left on time and I was deposited... More

We chose to do our PADI OW cert with Nautilus randomly, and could not have been happier with our decision. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, our two instructors, Damo and Alexa, were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and it was an absolute delight to be learning from them! They were very accommodating for our needs, and did an excellent... More

From all the things my partner and I did in Port Vila, this one was the one that was worrying me the most when I was booking it. We never dived before and it is a big thing to sign up your safety to somebody. Nautilus is situated in Port Vila and we simply walked there. We filled in the... More

My wife Debbie and I have dived with Nautilus many many times over the last 10 years and can honestly say you wouldn't find a more professional or friendly outfit anywhere else in the world. They know the dive sites backwards, have extremely proficient friendly instructors and divermasters and have their own pool on the premises to facilitate the learning... More

We chose to do our 13 year old son's dive qualification with Nautilus and it couldn't have been a better birthday present! All the staff and instructors went out of their way to make this a very memorable experience for him and allowed us to enjoy our own diving experience knowing that our son was in safe hands. Friendly and... More

Nautilus Scuba is easy to locate in port vila. They came and picked us up at the hotel and my niece who's not a diver came with us for free. Boat and gear were good and dive masters very cool. There is a deck on the top of the boat for non-divers. Good ambiance. Dives were not exactly what I... More

We chose Scuba Diving as are only day trip on a recent South Pacific Cruise. I (48) and my two teenagers (14 & 15) were taking a first dive. The Nautilus crew were great. Professional efficiency in instruction without being too "bolshy" certainly got the message through. The location for the dive was great for first timers with plenty to... More

Nautilus Gamefishing - Shogun - Capt Peter Phillips. Of all places I have fished anywhere in the world, this trip tops them all as the fishery is so untouched (we did not see another powered boat in 5 days) and the skipper Pete has Blue Marlin and dog tooth tuna fishing down pat. He puts you onto many varied and... More
