Outstanding service, amazing diving.
The crew was amazing with even the captain helping with gear and checking every diver before every dive to ensure they were set to dive. The dives were very good. We saw many things for the first time. Our cabin, are including the bathroom, was spacious and very comfortable.

The best of the best!
I had high expectations of the trip, and it exceeded all of them! We had a group of wonderful other divers, absolutely amazing guides, and the crew were attentive and kind and full of humor. Our room was comfortable and luxurious, the food was good, and the diving was out of this world. It felt like paradise!

The best liveaboard of my life
The largest whalesharks I've ever seen, bigger schools of hammerheads than I could imagine, sea lions playing with me during many safety stops, land trips to see amazing birds and turtles, marine iguanas feeding in an incredible landscape... this has been the best liveaboard of my life with no doubt. The divemasters were very professional and attentive, the boat is new and super luxury, very clean and with new diving equipment, the staff is always helping and the service is excellent. It has been waaay better than expected. Best destination in the world as for big stuff for sure...

Incredibly beautiful trip
I had the most amazing time aboard the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos. The dives were beautiful and truly memorable. We were lucky to have a fantastic dive group—everyone was very experienced, which made each dive even more enjoyable and easy. The staff was attentive, helpful, kind, and professional, and I especially appreciated that the captain personally did buddy checks to make sure everyone reached the zodiac safely and properly equipped. The food on board was delicious, with a rich and varied cuisine that made every meal something to look forward to. All in all, it was a beautiful trip and an unforgettable experience.
