Description: Nautilus Two is a brand new vessel designed and built by the owners of Nautilus I. The owners and operators are an Austrian-Maldivian partnership, two friends who have spent some 15 years working and diving in the Maldives before launching Nautilus One in 1999. Whilst replicating the traditional design of her popular predecessor, Nautilus II is even more spacious and luxurious and at 43m length one of the largest liveaboards operating in the Maldives. Guests are accommodated in 12 large cabins, each with twin or double option, fully air conditioned and with private bathroom (hot and cold water, flush toilets, and massage shower). There are extensive deck areas for sunbathing or relaxing with a book in the shade or in one of the two Whirlpools! The saloon is comfortably furnished, the bar serves draught beer, wine spirits, and cocktails. Soft drinks, fresh juice, tea, coffee and sandwiches are available in The Coffee Shop. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are usually served outside on the covered foredeck. Fresh buffets are prepared everyday with a combination of Asian, Maldivian and European food. On every trip there is a beach BBQ taken on one of the uninhabited islands. There is also an opportunity to explore some of the fishing villages and meet the local inhabitants. Diving is conducted from the Nautilus II 16 metre Diving Dhoni, where all tanks, compressors and dive equipment are stowed during the trip. There are three dives a day with the occasional night dive. Cylinders are 12 litre and 14 litre. Nitrox is available. Why Nautilus Two?
