5 Star Service at 4 star prices

Staff service was comparable to more expensive 5 star dive boats I have been on. Tender operators, kitchen staff, engineering staff, boat crew were very focused on the guests. The engineering staff fixed a torn dry suit, a broken dive computer band, and a broken selfie stick all without any of the guests missing any dives.

Recommended for
Staff attentiveness to guests and service. Friendliness of other guests. Dive guides understanding of divers preferences.

Gets no better

I have been on many liveaboards, the crew, dive setup, and execution on the Calipso are all top notch. If you are headed to the Galapagos, you won't find a better option. Mola mola, iguanas, whale sharks, and all the hammers you can handle. While the encounters are not within the control of the crew, they did everything possible to get the timing right to maximize the chances.
