I am looking into Nautilus Swell and it seems like they offer one of the most amazing liveaboards! Yet, I was told that visibility wise the best time to dive Alaska is from December to April and Nautilus Swell does not run in those months. It appears that their first trip in June and last in September. Would diving in these months be worth the expense?

Most certainly. Diving in these months would be worth it. While I have not been diving on the Swell, I had been diving on the previous ship, Nautilus Explorer, which no longer services SE Alaska. The spots they go to are phenomenal and friends whose opinion I value rave about the Swell and are planning multiple return trips on it. I would have been on the Swell this summer had it not been for a trip I was committed to elsewhere. But remember, Alaska diving does require a certain familiarity with dry suits.
The Swell is the only way to dive the sites in southeast alaska. Where they go is not accessible from shore dives or day trips unless you have your own boat. Distances involved are just too big and the demand is relatively low.
Hey John, yea, One on Friday night and another on Sunday Morning. Sunday morning was a whopping 1 minute bottom-time, Had to get the crab and get home for the Superbowl!
