Fun boat and once in a lifetime diving
The crew did a great job of setting a fun atmosphere with little celebrations throughout the trip (welcome and last dive, holidays, crossing the equator). Guides had great knowledge of the sites and were able to help us see all the species we were most interested in.

September 2025.
Had a great week on Aquas Pengiuno live aboard. The crew are outstanding, attending to every need with no issue. The quantity, quality and variety of doos was incredible considering its prepared on board in a small kitchen. The diving was amazing as you would expect at this location. All diving is done from RHIB’s and again the crew helping you get kitted up and into the RHIB are outstanding. So helpful. The dive guides are incredibly knowledgeable about the locations and history of the dive sites and islands. Added an extra element to the trip to understand the formation of the islands. Being there in September we were lucky enough to see everything we hoped to including whale shakes. Hammerheads, manta rays and even orcas. If I was lucky enough to go again, I would go with this boat again. Everything from being met at the airport to the diving was managed seamlessly by the company and the crew.

Good value for money for Galapagos liveaboard. I hope this becomes a “twice in a lifetime experience”
Amazing liveaboard experience in the Galapagos. The crew was very friendly and helpful, the boat was well maintained, great value for money overall in that part of the world. I had my own equipment so cannot comment on the quality of rental equipment. Plenty of food, various options always available. We were lucky to also have a great group of divers and had good times on board as well as underwater

- Very well planned liveaboard, with check dive on day 1 and land excursion on last day. Very friendly crew. (Of course) breathtaking dive sites.

It was an amazing dive trip!
We had a great experience with Aqua liveaboard. It was much better than anticipated. The guides and wait staff were so professional and helpful. The chef always had fresh fruits, vegetables, and a tasty variety at all meals. The only suggestion I have is to test for covid daily and have a separation of the positive people.

Dive the Galapagos aboard the Aqua!
Because the dive companies cooperate, we had spectacular dive sites to ourselves. We were not there for high season, but still saw an incredible selection of biodiversity. The food onboard was delicious and plentiful. On many liveaboards, we are the youngest divers, but this trip was full of really fun younger people. We would dive with the Aqua again!
