Probably they at least saved us from being out there a long time, if not saved our lives.

My name is Gary Rohr and I want to talk today about my experience, our experience with the Nautilus Lifeline product. In May of 2021 we did a trip on a private boat to Socorro Island. And we’ve been there several times before, and one time before we got separated from the pickup boat on […]

Drifting at the surface and out of sight at the end of an exciting dive!
Drifting at the surface and out of sight at the end of an exciting dive!

In 2019 during a liveaboard scuba diving vacation in the Maldives, there was a situation on a popular diving spot that required the use of my Nautilus LifeLine GPS VHF marine radio so we could be located and retrieved back to our diving boat. The main larger boats are often using smaller boats or skiffs, […]

Drifting an hour offshore…
Drifting an hour offshore…

To the Nautilus Team, Your Nautilus LifeLine GPS (new version) saved our asses today. We (6 divers) were drifting an hour offshore in big swells and strong current. The boat skipper lost track of our bubbles through no fault of his own. When we didn’t surface after an hour, he sent out a signal alerting […]

It has been the experience of your correspondent, and that of many others in the past, that safety in diving doesn’t sell. Just as car buyers offered the choice between an entertainment system or more airbags will choose the former, divers are just the same. They know bad things will never happen to them so […]

The only radio viable for my use
The only radio viable for my use

I spend a large amount of time playing on jet skis in heavy surf but still require a radio for launch, beach, and emergency. I enjoy rough heavy seas and normally break about five or six radios a year. I was mailed a brochure of the LifeLine from Killerdeals in SA. I had a look […]

My buddy and I were diving in Key Largo for a few days. On day two our regular boat op was not doing a night dive and we wanted one, so we scheduled with a different smaller op. The smaller op seemed well run, and was happy to take us and two other divers out […]

You just saved my life.
You just saved my life.

Thank you guys! You just saved my life. $299.99 was the most important investment I ever made! Because it saved my life. How small can the price of a life be? Just $299.99. Here is my story. I think I am the first buyer who used Nautilus LifeLine in 18 hours right after purchase. Yesterday […]

We now own the Nautilus LifeLine. I will never dive without one.
We now own the Nautilus LifeLine. I will never dive without one.

Long story short – due to deteriorating weather conditions on the surface during a dive in Fiji, our boat captain lost myself, my wife, and our two dive masters in open water for about an hour. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to signal using a safety sausage and whistle, we waited for the cloud ceiling to […]

The LifeLine not only saved our bacon, but saved our trip.
The LifeLine not only saved our bacon, but saved our trip.

On a recent dive we were hot dropping a wreck in 240′. The current was ripping like it always is there. We missed the wreck and by the time we came up after about 12 min. of deco the boat had lost track of us. We had blown SMBs quickly, but not quick enough. One […]

Mike, Thought I’d pass along my first dive trip wearing the LifeLine you sent me. Went out last week to Nassau with a small group and the weather was borderline at best. There was about fourteen folks on the boat in addition to my group of four. They all asked about the LifeLine and of […]

Hi Captain Lever, I have just returned from a weeks diving in Grenada, using my CCR. On the last dive, a group of 4 divers descended on the wreck of the Hemer 1, stayed in the water for 40 minutes max depth 100 feet. Great dive – warm and clear, loads of life. We surfaced […]

By the way this thing has more than paid for itself. One day in Palau, where the Philippine Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, we dove in 0.5 m swells, only to surface in 2-3 m swells after drifting for 70 minutes in an exceptionally strong surge. No boat in sight and we could not be […]
