I have been diving with Nautilus and it’s owners Melissa and Jason since 2015. I have upgraded all my gear there, been certified in a number of specialty diving courses, and recently completed my Divemaster there. I have also done many, many scuba diving trips with them. The reason I keep going back is because they’ve become like family to me and we have an absolute BLAST together! The advice they’ve given me on gear upgrades demonstrates a very high level of knowledge and expertise on their part. Each purchase has enhanced the quality of my diving experience. Jason and Melissa are also fantastic instructors. I have learned so much from them. Their teaching style is encouraging, patient, positive, and has done wonders for my confidence. Last, but by no means least, we have had THE BEST time diving together on the trips we’ve taken together. Melissa does all the travel planning and booking. She is also an excellent communicator of the travel plans and the various requirements we need to be aware of by country. This has been particularly challenging during the Covid pandemic, but she always manages to keep everyone together, going in the right direction, and getting us all there and back in one piece. I cannot emphasize what a challenge this can be with old farts like me being in the group. In summary, Melissa herds cats very effectively and always is that calm voice in the storm when someone gets worked up about missing a connection or forgetting their underwater camera chip. They are both fantastic underwater photographers and have documented a great history of the trips we’ve done together. I have moved back to Florida since retiring, but when I dive, I always go diving with Jason and Melissa and through Nautilus. I just wouldn’t have it any other way. They are great instructors, expert scuba advisors, and, more than anything, they are truly wonderful friends. - via
