A guide for eight divers is an insecurity factor
I don't recommend the Galapagos master. On the second dive in Darwin, we had serious problems due to sound equipment placed in the low pressure hose! The air began to leak and the guide did not solve the problem. We climbed almost out of breath and didn't make the safety stop. It all happened because of the horn placed on our equipment by the Galápagos master! Not even the guide accompanied us to the surface. We almost had a serious accident due to the lack of structure at the operator.

Disappointed - too much waste time and sitting on a rock while diving - waiting...!
Diving with sealion, iguanas and whalesharks + were the highlights. In general a very rich underwater life with great biodiversity. I like how its possible to dive in both warm and cold water.

Amazing sightings!
I loved to see all these animals underwater: hammerheads, whale sharks, iguanas, dolphins, mantas, mobulas, sting rays, eagle rays, dolphins, redlipped batfish, silkies, Galapagos sharks, turtles,... So many! And the landtour was great too :) The crew was very friendly as well. For big marine animals it is THE place. I like how the national park protects the environment.
