      From start to finish this was a great trip. Was picked up at hotel and taken to boat where we began our journey. We traveled by boat and saw birds and small islands w explanations from naturalist. Many opportunities to see marine wildlife. Arrived on Bartoleme and did a short hike to a scenic visit and snorkel. Great food and service!

      Academy Bay Diving were incredibly helpful from the planning of our trip to suit our interests, all the way to our departure. We had an amazing time in the Galapagos and hope to return as soon as we can!

      Fabulous day- super professional crew. Did a great job of balancing newer divers and the more experienced. Would totally dive with them again!

      Absolutely amazing trip! Basically ruined diving for me due to the incredible experiences diving with sea lions, and so many sharks. The dive instructor and lead was great, focus on safety, really accommodating.

      This was a nice snorkel trip. I found our guide treated us as if we were not supposed to be on the trip. Serious ageism. For that reason it was not very enjoyable. We are only 50 but the rest of the group was younger. He insisted I wear a life jacket when I am a very good swimmer but didn’t make anyone else wear one. The price was very expensive compared to others we talked to for the same trip

      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
