Aqua liveaboard
I'm 67, with 500+ dives, and this was my first liveaboard, so I was a bit anxious. But, the trip fulfilled all my expectations, the crew is the best, food was excellent, the dive guides did their best to show us everything that is "available" this time of the year.

Fantastic One-Week Diving Trip on Aqua
My boyfriend and I went on a one-week liveaboard trip on Aqua, and it was an amazing experience! The boat was simple but very well maintained, and the staff was fantastic—extremely friendly and professional. They took care of everything we needed. The dive guides were excellent and explained everything clearly. The rental diving equipment seemed new and in great condition. We loved all the dives, even though we traveled during the warmer season, which is considered less popular than the colder months for liveaboards in the Galápagos. Still, we saw plenty of marine life, and it was worth every dollar! The service on board was excellent. The boat was always clean, and the food was delicious and varied. There were also snacks and juices after the dives, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend this liveaboard—it’s absolutely worth it!

Easy 10 out of 10
Diving the Galapagos was a bucket list item. This trip crossed it off and then immediately put it right back on again. Daniel and Jesus were brilliant dive guides and ensured we saw everything there was. The crew are brilliant too and work well together. They operate like ninjas where tasks are done without you even seeing or asking. Well oiled machine!

Wonderful experience in Galapagos
Aqua is budget friendly in Galapagos, but they definitely gave me a perfect liveaboard experiece. Safety equipments were given per person. Also there were so plenty of good snacks and meal everyday. Friendly diving instructor and crews made my trip comfortable as a family. I was able to dive for a week with highly experienced diving instructor, so I had a wonderful diving experience eventhough it wasn’t a season. I saw so many school of hammerhead sharks, and etc.(Many many many of sharks, eagle rays …) It was lucky to be with Aqua crew

Aqua live aboard provides a great way to explore the underwater wonders of the Galapagos Islands.
The unique diving experience; diving with sharks, rays Mola molas, sea lions and marine iguanas was a highlight that was made all the better by the efficiency of the organized crew getting divers in and out of the water. The food was excellent, served buffet style with many options, it was hard not to over eat. In most cases there was a soup or appetizer and always dessert. There were two long transits that went through the night. Several passengers experienced varying levels of sea sickness. Come prepared with anti nausea medication.
