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.

Incredible pelagic diving with a top crew!
The trip was incredible with spectacular and varied diving throughout. Highlights included the scalloped hammerheads, mola mola, Galapagos Sea Lions and the marine iguanas. The boat was excellent, top crew who worked extremely hard - it's not a luxury boat, and the rooms are small, but I only slept in the room, there's plenty of space to relax on the top deck. This is a liveaboard that will suit keen divers. I'll be back for sure

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!

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

Great diving
Aqua is a comfortable boat with a wonderful crew. Food, drinks, and facilities were excellent. Rental gear is in very good shape and the crew maintains the boats and equipment very well. The crew and dive guides prioritize safe diving. They were also very flexible and rearranged the itinerary to fit the conditions as best as possible. The diving was great - all kinds of sharks, rays and mola mola, etc. Plus, unlike other dive boats, Aqua’s dive guides are also naturalists and were able to lead panga visits to islands so we could learn about and photograph wildlife above the water between dives. Great trip, we highly recommend it!
