Truly service oriented operation. They had everything arranged before we arrived and made sure that all we had to do was relax, dive and have fun. I'd definitely dive with them again! You should too!!!

Everything was well organized and detailed, making really simple for me just to enjoy the trip. The scuba diving was amazing, Israel is a great guide instructor. He knows how to balance safety and professionalism with a fun adventure

Great diving experience- very professional team, nice dive boat and good equipment. Fantastic having towels provided and a nice hot lunch! They were even able to assist us with arranging a private tour of a tortoise ranch after our dive, as travelling on a cruise ship we had only one day in Puerto Ayora and wanted to make sure we didn’t have to completely miss the tortoises to be able to dive. Fantastic dive outfit.

An amazing trip. Leo, the instructor, was very professional and friendly, he worked hard for us to be able to find all the marine life we could. Highly recommended.

arguably the best diving experience we’ve had to date. From the quality of the shop to the dive masters on board with us, nothing but positive things to share. This shop really is first class quality and sets such a high expectation for the competition. 10/10 would dive with them again and would recommend to anyone looking to dive in the Galapagos!

acabamos de regresar de Galápagos conde realizamos seis increíbles días de buceos... por lejos los mejores en 20 años. Tanto por los hermosos lugares y fauna de la isla y alrededores, por sus equipos de primera calidad y sobre todo por sus guías y todo el personal del centro. Es increíble como aman su isla y como transmiten todo lo que saben de su fauna e historia. gracias Alex, Jimmy y Santiago
