British Columbia Liveaboards

British Columbia Coastal Rainforest Adventures

"The best place to dive in the world"
-- Jean Michel Cousteau

With 27,200 kilometers (16,500 miles) of coast line (including the shorelines of its thousands of islands) British Columbia (BC) is not only one of the world’s best places to go scuba diving, but also to go kayaking, whale and bird watching and hiking. There is nothing like the thrill of stepping ashore and exploring some of world’s last, best and purest wilderness along BC’s coastal rainforest. From your first glimpse of the sprawling forests and your first taste of the ocean air, you'll know what it might have been like to walk the Earth moments after it was born. Because we follow the sun to always catch nature at her best, the boat is in different seas in different seasons. In September and again in May, we sail BC’s beautifully rugged coast.

“This is one of the most beautiful areas on Earth, both above and below the water. The life on the walls and pinnacles was phenomenal. We dove a four-masted barque at Drum Rock, the famed Browning Wall, and Dillon Rock (home to seven wolf eels, two giant Pacific octopus), and ten other dive sites. There were 15 of us from Wisconsin and we met new friends from Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Ottawa, Canada. A return trip is a must!

Nautilus Swell

The newest wave to hit Alaska and British Columbia diving

Dive and explore the beautiful Emerald Sea from a private yacht with 12 - 14 divers onboard, 38 foot dive skiff INDE in tow and a highly experienced divemaster in the water pointing out our famous giant pacific octopus, wolf-eels, sealions, nudibranchs and the whole spectrum of life special to these waters. There is no better way to experience Alaska and B.C.

The Nautilus Swell is a classic and beautiful vintage vessel with $3,500,000 recently spent on renovations and refit. Just like her sistership, Nautilus Explorer, you can expect exceptional service levels from a friendly and professional crew including all the famous Nautilus touches: a hostess with hot drinks and snacks waiting for you after every dive and shore excursion, morning coffee service to wherever you may be enjoying the view, an extensive selection of wine and microbrews, a refreshing, frosty beer brought directly to you in the hot-tub in the evening. All staterooms, superior suites and single occupancy cabins have private ensuites, separate shower stalls, doors that open directly outside and individually controlled heat. The ship’s watermaker ensures that you can shower as often as you like.

Best of all, the addition of the Nautilus Swell to our schedule means that we are able to extend our Alaska season into the prime months of August and September when the streams are choked with spawning salmon and anxious brown bears pace the shoreline.
