Excellent Value with World-Class Diving
Excellent overall experience. Aqua offers great value, the food was amazing, and the diving was outstanding with long bottom times. The dive guides were experienced and familiar with each site, while the daily schedule provided the perfect amount of time for both diving and relaxation.

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 experience diving with Aqua
The trip was great. The rooms were nice and spacious, food was good especially options for someone who doesn’t eat meat, and the diving was awesome. The only complaint is our toilet didn’t work for most of the trip which is very inconvenient. The staff made this trip excellent by accommodating requests and keeping things fun.
