Not a legit shop. Stay away from Nautilus Dive Center Aruba unless you want to risk your life. Worst dive shop I been to in Aruba. The shop is run out of a run down house, the gold van they drove me in to the dive site was run down, no handles to open the vehicle and they drove 5 mph in it because it was falling apart. I felt very unsafe especially during the night dive. Not one safety stop did they do, they didn't care to check on me during the dive and we were all far apart. I paid 130 for a 1 tank dive, which I was expecting a lot more, the dive itself lasted 29 minutes. The guide had to play with the handle to open the doors of the van. No way that van would even pass an inspection. Equipment is not up to date and isn't safe to use, rusty, old equipment. I did not feel safe at all diving with them, they were not good guides as they didn't check or do 1 single safety stop. Tried reaching out multiple times to have my dive verified and they read the messages I've sent on Watsapp but never answer my calls or respond via text, mind you i'm being kind and respectful in my messages. I dove with Carlos divemaster and Juan instructor/owner. Never again. BEWARE
