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.

Great trip...wonderful crew!
The diving was very, very interesting - lots of sharks (2 whale sharks), and all the other stuff that you are supposed to see in the Galapagos. The crew was very attentive and went out of their way to make the trip great.

Overall it was ok
Overall it was a nice cruise. The service was good and the buffet meals satisfying. The room that I was assigned didn’t have any window but it was nice. The guide we had tried their best to give us a good experience. We didn’t have much luck in mid may since the temperature of the water was too high and the hammer head sharks in wolf and Darwin were really few at 25/30 meters. We should had gone deeper but the use of nitrox and Galapagos park regulations didn’t let us do it. The buddy that was assigned to me wasn’t really good on buoyancy and air consumption and forced us to finish the dive early twice compared to the group. On later dives the guy in charge of the kitchen service joined us to pair with the divers that had to get out before. Considered the hefty price that must be paid to take part to cruise I’m not really sure if it is the best option compared to single dive trip that cost around 220$ and can be easy arranged in San Cristobal or puerto ayora

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.
