Nortada

Nortada is an 8 guest live-aboard. We have regular guaranteed 7 and 14 night departures and work with individual travelers regularly. In addition to the benefits of diving in small groups (most other boats carry 16 guests), we’ve done our best to create the most dive-comprehensive itinerary in the market. In fact, Nortada offers the ability to do at least 20 dives per week and all diving departures offer visits to the world-famous Wolf and Darwin, plus the exciting addition of Cape Douglas and Punta Vicente Roca. Even with an 8 guest capacity, Nortada is priced within the market. Our value proposition is not to provide a more luxurious option, but rather to maximize diving by providing the most comprehensive dive itinerary, the ability to dive from smaller groups and to tailor services for different experience levels and interests.
