The Westerly is too small for 14 divers with large photo equipment. It lacks storage space, seating and e.g. small boxes to keep his stuff together. Also, round trip every day to the dive and snorkel sites is very exhausting because long and little space. The crew is very friendly and helpful despite the long hours, absolutely top. You should consider offering these tours only with a liveaboard, that is much more comfortable.

Boat tu slow and too small, too little seating in the shade.

The organization of Nautilus was very good, as well as the organization and taking care of the tour guide Georg Nies.
The whole crew on the Westerly did a fantastic job and the food on the boat was really great.
The bus for the transfer could have been bigger, especially of 13 people 7 have big cameras with them and they have to be transported on their laps even on 1 1/2 hour trips. Enough space for tall people and long legs would also have been great.
The restaurants for dinner had a very different quality.
The boat was clearly too small for 13 divers and not suitable:
- there are not enough seats
- there are not enough shady places in the sun and warm up places in cold / bad weather
- The food had to be taken standing up, which is not very comfortable in a swaying boat.
- The boat is clearly too slow for the duration of the trips. 3 -3 1/2 hours each way to do two dives with the sea lions or 1 1/2 hours there in a narrow bus and 3 -3 1/2 hours back by boat to snorkel with the mobulas I also find clearly too long.
In the tender is the speech of a comfortable boat, I can definitely not agree and I am also of the opinion that the paid travel price is not justified in relation to the boat and also the service in Cabo Pluto. It is also missing in the advertisement that one spends hours in the small boats (Mobulas), without sun protection and therefore the whole time in the neoprene.
Cabo Pulmo
Here I would have wished a reference in the advertisement that it concerns simplest accommodations.
Furthermore, the organization on site left a lot to be desired. Upon arrival, I would have liked some general information from the local organizer, which Georg also did not receive. Lunch was supposed to be at 15:00 on the first day. In fact we only got something to eat at about 17:00 (breakfast at 7:00 and on the boat only a few cookies but two dives) because our captain was too lazy to help the dive guide change the tanks and we had to spend most of the surface interval in rough seas in the water. The dive guides on the other hand did a very good job.

Nautilus Westerley/La Paz: Well guided dives and snorkeling trips with guide ROMAN. A great team on the Nautilus Westerley, extremely nice and helpful (rarely experienced so - I give 7 stars!) on a boat that has some weaknesses (slow and limited space). However, with an excellent kitchen for the conditions. Despite the limitations, the boat and crew can definitely be recommended. The awarded stars refer only to the stay in La Paz (Westerley)! The "20-hour trip" incl. 2 dives, also carried out by Baja Expeditions, was somewhat mixed (dive center gave bad information, poor briefings, dive boats were difficult from the exit, the boat driver was not at all willing to help, guide was okay) The accommodation fortunately for only 1 night was primitive and dirty, there was hardly any water from the tap and shower, bad beds and furniture. Food (half board) was sufficient and average. In the dive center hardly any water to rinse the equipment, for 5 divers were mercifully provided 3 towels. Transfer to the beach only on the way there, on the way back we had to walk incl. cameras, everything very provisional and simple. With a little more friendliness on the part of the dive center this would have been feasible, but SERVICE looks different. Therefore, a maximum of 3 stars for the dive center (Poseidon?) in Cabo Pulmo!

The crew is great! The food is excellent.
The two Pangas as dive boats good. Our captain Tito super and the guides excellent.

When all diving equipment is on board, you can hardly sit. Only below deck possibilities to rest (in bunks). Boxes would be helpful to keep the material together.
