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!

Great experience
Fantastic trip and unforgettable experience. The boat is not new but it is clean and well maintained and offers everything you need on a diving trip. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great guides, who not only take care of their divers but have extensive knowledge about dive sites, wildlife and Galapagos archipelago as well.
