“A fabulous week on Aqua. We had some amazing dives during our week and we had a great mix of divers which made the week enjoyable, everyone got on well. We had a fabulous dive guide, Juan Carlos, whose knowledge, love and passion for diving in the Galapagos shines through. The boat is run extremely well and professionally with friendly and helpful crew. Food was also amazing, plentiful and varied. All in all a superb week on board Aqua. Thank you.”
