The Nautilus Gallant Lady has a length of 35 meters/116 feet and accommodates up to 12 guests. The guests will be treated to 6 large cabins that are situated on the lower and main decks. The sun deck and Jacuzzi will be the perfect place to unwind between dives. However, the main attraction is the cage diving that the Nautilus Gallant Lady brings to the table. You will be able to get up and close with the great white sharks in the area and other marine life. A great liveaboard for all-year diving experiences.
