Bucket List Level Stuff - Get on this boat

This liveaboard has ruined future diving for me now - it was insane. Unmatched diving and great opportunity to go to wolf and darwin islands. Food was overall very good given remoteness and size of the boat - left heavier than when I arrived.. Staff were all very nice and helpful. Boat is small - it used to be a fishing boat before being repurposed for a diving liveaboard. This comes with les divers which was nice - we had 8 of us only. The smaller size means it is more rocky - i do get sea sick but felt fine 90% of the time with sea sickness tablets - but would note i went in May (shoulder month) and it was apparently much calmer than usual. Refresh your knowledge/training of diving in currents as you'll be doing that almost every dive. Highly recommend getting you nitrox cert if you haven't already - most will be using nitrox to extend dive time - all 8 of us used nitrox all week. Helps given you are doing anywhere from 3-5(!) dives per day depending on conditions. Make sure you bring dive gloves which were essential. You can rent everything but it is pricey to do so. The wifi was surprisingly awesome - I was expecting to be off grid for half the week but there was strong wifi connection throughout, even at wolf/darwin! We saw so much but my highlights were seeing my first Whale shark (huge and pregnant), schools of hammerheads and dolphins, HUGE manta Rays including a Melanistic manta, mobula rays jumping out of the water, and countless white & black tip reef sharks, just to name a few highlights. Highly recommend this liveaboard - I had a great time which I will remember forever

Insane Diving in Wolf and Darwin Islands. Food surprisingly very good. Boat small but decent quality.

Great liveaboard

I have already done a few lives on board, some with you and this has been the best. I have been lucky enough to coincide on the trip with a colleague of yours, Joaquín, an Argentinian who works for Liveaboard from Valencia. The first day my GoPro died, he did not hesitate to lend me one of his cameras for the whole trip and at the end of it he gave me a t-shirt from your company. It was a pleasure to dive by his side, I congratulate you for having people like this on the staff. It's been great life on board, the people on the boat spectacular and the dives second to none, thank you for everything.

Wow. Just wow.

I did 19 dives in five days! It was fantastic. I saw mola molas up close, if I reached my arm out I would’ve touched it! There were hammerhead sharks everywhere. At Landslide, there were schools of them being cleaned by angel fish! I also saw marine iguanas feeding, horxbille turtles being cleaned and feeding, hornshark baby sleeping, white tip sharks up close, silky sharks and Galapagos sharks up close, huge parrot fish, manta rays right in front of me, schools of golden cow rays, did I mention the mantas being powerful and beautiful and maybe a metre from me as they aren’t scared of divers? Oh right and I swam with dolphins and saw them on our safety stop, I played with sea lions, they copy you! Mola molas were plentiful and a new favourite. They again came so close and there were so many! That’s not to mention the barracudas and the soldier fish, the shrimps and the lobsters.... every moment caused me to do an underwater jiggle of excitement. Note, it does get cold and there are currents. At times, we just planted ourselves to rocks and watched the blue. I was in a 5ml and I was fine but there were others on the boat in 7mls and were cold. A lot of the current dives were negative entry so confidence with that is ideal as we did loose a couple of divers on the descent on our first negative entry dive. Note, due to the tides and the nutrient rich water, the vis isn’t as high as I’d have expected but due to fishing laws etc they don’t scare and come so close. Eye contact with hammerheads and molas says it all right? The guide also took a go pro and gave me his footage. I’m fond of living the dive for the moment and not through a camera so it’s nice to have that. I thought that I may see a hammerhead or two, I had no idea that in five days, I would see so much. It’s a completely different vibe to coral reefs so you can’t really compare the two. The Galapagos is expensive, too much for my liking but this trip was good value and they give you your five a day! Be sure to tip the crew members individually as they share all the tips out. They appreciated the thank you letters we attempted to write in Spanish and the individual tips. I don’t want to go home.

Every dive site had its own vibe and marine life. Look into the blue and keep breathing, there’s so much to see! The crew were super friendly despite not speaking English and were great!
