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.

Amazing experience with trustworthy dive guides.
The cabins were really clean and the equipments were well maintained. The crew was just simply amazing, they were very accomodating and knowledgable. We felt safe navigating through Darwin and wolf despite the initial concerns for the strong currents. Liveaboard.com crew were also very responsive and comprehensive with their emails and communications

What a week! Magical wildlife and lovely people!
This week was the best diving of my life: hundreds of hammerhead sharks, several whale sharks, turtles, iguanas, dolphins, and most playful sea lions. Every dive was very unique and had another highlight! Please bear in mind that diving can be challenging due to currents and cold water but definitely worth it. The divemasters Juan Carlos and Jesus were super professional and made the diving experience super safe and most importantly great fun! The whole boat crew was so kind and helpful and the boat was very new and comfy. Surprisingly I had a great night's sleep! Also food was great! I am a vegetarian and was super happy in addition veggie protein sources were provided with every meal. The highlight of the week was all the interesting and lovely travel companions who became a little family.

Great boat, great staff, great trip
Fantastic boat, itinerary and guides. Ran like a well oiled machine, cabins were cleaned and beds made every day, all staff was great, would recommend to anyone. We saw better wildlife than a guy I spoke to who was on a boat that was 2x the cost.

EPIC!!!
This is my 6th liveaboard trip and I have to say the crew and service when above and beyond! The staff was always present to help get in and out of our gear. Our rooms were cleaned twice a day. Warm clean towels were provided after EVERY dive, and the water was piping hot the second you turned on the shower. The food was delicious and our DM's Jesus and Christian were attentive and wonderful. Christian who is a naturalist also knew when and where to see the pelagics. I was also happy to see that most guests were aged 20-40 yrs old on this trip! Thank you, Aqua for an amazing experience!!!
