These guys are the best! We recently dove with the head instructor and I must say he is the absolute best. Diligent, thoughtful, knowledgeable. It was the best dive and training experience my son and I ever had! If you are considering diving in Eilat, I wouldn't look any further.

Lavrik from Nautilus was the best instructor I've ever had. I took the Nitrox as well as a few adventure dive courses with him and he went above and beyond making sure we understood the material. He is a seasoned veteran and leverages over 23 years of diving experience to make sure his clients are safe and having fun! I highly recommend Nautilus Red Sea Diving.He also took some amazing pictures which were so worth it!

It was the best adventure! A fantastic experience, I chose the right place for sure. The instructor, Lavrenty, is a professional, he knows his business well, he explained clearly every aspect and made sure I understood; very friendly and genuine as a person. I was in the right hands, he made sure I was safe and enjoying my dive. He took really cool pictures of me underwater and I received them in a short time. The team responded quickly on mail and WhatsApp as well, good communication. 10/10!

Hi everyone ❤️ Yesterday we went diving for the first time in our lives. there is nothing to say that it was good. we were pleasantly shocked and surprised. View of the sea, corals, fish like a movie. Despite the fact that I can’t swim, instructors Oksana and Lavrenti helped a lot (special thanks for this). We recommend everyone to visit! ❤️

I did my advance open water certificatation with Lavrik, he was patient, professional and pleasant. There are many dive instructors who could get you certified but Lavrik also makes sure to actually teach both safety and diving best practices. It's also worth adding that since the school doesn't rent equipment out except for courses, the equipment is top notch. Lavrik also taught us how to take care of the equipment, so anyone who thinks they might buy their own equipment one day gets a bonus lesson that's worth a lot.I've been to other schools in Eilat, with worse instructors and worse equipment. I highly recommend doing courses and certifications at Nautilus.

My husband and I just went diving with Lawrence and we would highly recommend this experience. I had never dived before and was a little nervous but felt very safe and after a couple of minutes confident with what I was doing. We had an incredible time and it’s definitely worth doing if in Eilat, the views were clear and we saw a lot of fish, coral and sea life. Amazing experience made the better by Lawrence. He was clear with his instructions and always checked in to make sure we were okay. Highly recommend.

It was an extraordinary experience, Lavrik the instructor is a special person with a lot of patience and care for the divers with him.After several dives in several places I can clearly say that in this dive I felt the most safe, professional and I learned a lot of new things thanks to Lavrik.

Lawrence was fantastic. We were here for a 3 week trip, and we went to him on 6 different days for almost 15 different dives. I personally recommended him to friends and family, and we got certified with him.He is a professional, knowledgeable, and we had an unforgettable time with him.Great English, and a great sense of humor.I would highly recommend this diving shop.Thanks, Steve

Lawrence was a wonderful guide! We had a great experience with Nautilus Red Sea. From an easy booking to free pick up from our hotel to unrivaled attention and care, the team did a great job making our experience enjoyable. I highly recommend getting the photo package. The pictures were incredible and for a reasonable price. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to dive in Eilat.

Just finished another day diving with Lavrik.For the past 8 years been going back to the club and enjoying its verity of diving options. This time took two friends with me and tried the “discover scuba”.As always Lavrik has a ton of experience in the diving world and when he’s knowledge is combined with high teaching skills you just can’t go wrong.The day went great and we had a blast.With Nautilus Redsea you get a great experience and most importantly, you get back home safe.

Just look at the smiles in the attached photo - that should tell you all you need to know. But here's a little more - all of my kids have said that scuba diving with Lawrence was by far the highlight of their stay in Israel. None of them had been diving before and were nervous. Lawrence was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and confident with them, which put them all at ease. Not only did they have an amazing time under the water while observing gorgeous sea life, but they also learned a lot as part of the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience. Not to mention, Lawrence has an amazing underwater camera that captured our experience beautifully; it was great that we could focus on enjoying the dive while he snapped fantastic photos for us.

Были с дочерью 16-ти лет на ознакомительном погружении. Всё четко. Полный инструктаж на суше, затем на мелководье инструктор убедился, что мы под водой освоили все необходимые приёмы и знаки. Затем идет само погружение, плаваете между кораллов с красивыми рыбками. На каждого из нас при погружении был отдельный инструктор. Это дает чувство уверенности и безопасности. Особенно рекомендую для русскоязычных. На английском вам вряд ли так расскажут о всех нюансах. Много узнал нового, хотя ранее погружался в Египте. Например, как управлять своей плавучестью дыханием, а не тупо надувая жилет воздухом из баллона. Дочке ОЧЕНЬ понравилось. И мне тоже :)Огромное спасибо!!!

If you are diving for the first time, or you are looking for a place to connect with locals and get the best of the area, here is the place. Lawrence is great on teaching you the steps and tricks that would probably take years for you to learn on your on. I must say that you should add the photo optional. They have a super camera and you will be able to show the red sea spectacle to everyone.

Fantastic experience. Lawrence is a great teacher. Would definitely recommend. We had no experience scuba diving but he taught us everything we need to do to go on our own dive. Felt safe and prepared for everything.

Lavrick was a consummate professional who gave thorough and skilful instruction throughout the course I booked. My husband, who is a certified advanced open water diver, attended with me to refresh and learned things he did not know despite having over 100 dives. If you want to learn how to dive safely and competently, Lavrick is the instructor you should book.

My first ever experience of diving with Nautilus Red Sea was out of the world. Lawrence is an amazing instructor and guides really well. His patience with beginners is worth a mention. The entire dive was memorable, and he knew his way about the waters, taking us to the exact right spots to spot the beautiful marine life and the coral reefs in the Red Sea. Was worth every penny and would definitely recommend their services to anyone visiting Eilat and looking to dive.

Had a really lovely experience in the intro dive. The instruction was excellent and made me feel super prepared for my first time diving. The dives were lovely and we got a little bonus of seeing an Octopus!! Will definitely be diving again based on this experience.

My partner and I had an amazing time here! We called last minute but Nautilus Red Sea were super accommodating! We planned initially to do the most basic intro drive, but we were covered to go for the Discover Scuba introductory dive and it was so worth it. Our instructor Lawrence was super professional and made the experience very comfortable. We're already thinking about when to come back to finish the PADI Scuba course(s). Thank you so much!!

6 april jl. hebben mijn vriend en ik twee duiken gedaan onder begeleiding van Lawrence, en het was onvergetelijk! Lawrence is zeer professioneel en geeft goede en duidelijke uitleg. Ook het materiaal is van goede kwaliteit en werd zorgvuldigheid gebruikt. Gedurende de twee duiken hebben wij vele soorten vissen mogen zien, verder hadden wij het geluk dolfijnen te mogen aanschouwen en Lawrence was snel genoeg om dit vast te leggen met zijn camera! Lawrence, nogmaals dank!

Went for 3 dives in April, including 1 night dive.Everything went smoothly and the instructor was patient, caring and interested in the safety of us all, as well as the sustainability of the diving spots in an area crowded with divers. It was not always easy as many divers consider the activity as a pure transactional one when it is actually an extreme sport where safety relies on trust and team work.Night diving was an incredible experience and we got to sea juvenile and adult squids, Lionfishes' peculiar hunting techniques, juvenile and adult octopuses and their peculiar hiding and escape techniques, nudibranches, limited but still beautiful bioluminescence, fish and crustaceans sleeping, many clownfishes in their anemones, big blowfishes etc.All of this on top of a wonderful shipwreck and dolphins during the day.Highly recommend

We had 2 fun dives with Lawrence and it was fantastic. Liked his dry humor, his advices all around diving and his calmness. Also I recommend to go for the underwater photographs - they are stellar.Had nothing to complain and would do it again.

5 star diving instructor and diving school. Lavrenty takes his time for thorough pre-dive briefings, makes sure you understand everything and that you feel comfortable and safe during the process. We did the open water diving course and the advanced open water diving course, plus I did the nitrox certification. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Nautilus Red Sea to anyone who wants to do any of the courses or just some guided dives.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Tag mit Lawrence und sind sehr zufrieden mit der Organisation gewesen. Ich würde die Tauchschule uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Besonders die Foto-Option ist ihr Geld wert!

Both Lawrence and his team are top notch. This is by far the most helpful refresh dive we had to start with with great tips too. This was follow by professional guidance and ongoing guidance. In addition the whole vibe was no-pressure very accommodating to people's pace. We dove for two days morning dives and went to the nature reserves, coral caves, Dolphin sightseeing and the sunken missile boat wreck. All at various depths according to the group certification. On top of it all the photos which we paid extra for were worth every penny. You can see the difference from other clubs in using a simple GoPro camera to what Lawrence was using while leading the dives. Stunning. Many beautiful fish and coral as well as underwater structures.As a bonus I recommend folks try the minimalist diving mask I've demo as it's light, travels well and has amazing visibility.Also as a bonus, Mush beach restaurant is next door where you can relax sipping a drink and enjoy the sea breeze and ambient.Can't wait till next time.

Our warmest recommendations for Nautilus Red Sea Diving.With Lawrence we had a safe, instructual, refreshing and the best diving experience to the wreck Satil on 18 meters.If you have the chance, call Lawrence. As he told himself - not the cheapest - BUT THE BEST :-)

Great experience with this company! We contacted them via whatsapp to join a guided dive and they answered immediately. Our photographer guide was friendly and knowledgeable and immediately put us at ease. We opted for photos which made for fun photo shoots underwater. We also rented gear, which was in great condition. FYI They don't have their own storefront but instead have an agreement with Palamida to use their space.

Ich war mit Lawrence tauchen und kann ihn als guide und die tauchschule sehr empfehlen! Ich habe wunderbare dive sides gesehen, sogar mit Delfinen und Lawrence hat sich total aufmerksam um mich gekümmert. Ich habe mich zu jeder Zeit sicher gefühlt. Das Highlight waren die Unterwasserbilder, die Lawrence mit seiner Kamera aufgenommen hat.Rundum ein toller Tag, vielen Dank!

Junto com meu filho fizemos 4 mergulhos diurnos e 1 noturno com Lowrence. A princípio bastante sério e exigente com as normas do mergulho e em seguida nos conduziu por ótimos e variados locais. Recomendo.

I booked a dive with Lawrence and Oksana via their website for certified divers. It was a truly professional and outstanding experience. We conducted two dives in the morning, one to see dolphins which showed up right on que, and one to a local wreck. The water and scenery were amazing. I needed a refresh which Lawrence did for me too. Our group was small (3 divers) making the experience very personal and tailored. Lawrence is incredibly aware of his clients on the dive, ensuring safety and that we see all the amazing sights. I can say with absolute confidence you will not go wrong with Nautilus. These are real experts that are customer focused and provide a personalized dive experience, not a cookie cutter large group dive. Their prices are great, and you get way more than you pay for. They also speak English which was very important for me coming from the U.S. They also did a guided dive for my kids, covered in a separate review. It was awesome too!

It’s recommended if you have no previous experience. They really take care of you and it’s absolutely safe. Maybe it could be a bit longer for the money you pay but it was a nice activity to do.
