great experience for my first liveaboard
very nice my first liveaboard. we were lucky 7 divers 11 crew! Food was ok to good, always way too much prepaired. Room was great. The personal service was beyond expectations, from room to food to dive gear assistance. Always a warm towel and snacks ready after a dive.

Awesome
Great experience overall, extreme difficulty with flight bookings and flexibility, would not book flights through them in the future. The food is average except the sushi...this was amazing, the staff make up for the few items that lag. Despite this we will definitely book this specific boat again.

Diving the Galapagos
The following is a letter I wrote to a passenger (also a travel agent) I traveled with the week before: Dearest Marianne, It is so nice to hear from you. First, of the 14 guests we had on board, not one was a drama queen, everybody acted their age. Ha ha. (Note: I was senior to all by about 25 years and I was the only American). They were from Australia (transplants from England), Germany, Spain, and France. Most spoke their native tongue, and Spanish and English. I thoroughly enjoyed their company while observing the minute cultural differences. Second, I would rate the trip an 8 or 9 when compared to the “naturalist” trip we took. As you know, the “naturalist” trip was chaulk full of minitrips, hiking, snorkeling and touring, and most educational about the environment and all. Most of the diving in the Galapagos can be found better elsewhere in the world. We did have some special moments with sea turtles and sea lions in and around the main islands. However, we did dive at Wolf and Darwin Islands, Darwin Arch specifically, both of which were spectacular, Darwin Island much more so though. Darwin Arch (now Pillars because the arch collapsed) is the flagship diving spot of the Galapagos. Besides seeing sea turtles and hundreds of hammerhead sharks, as well as other sharks, we encountered not one, not two, but six whale sharks. Most other places in the world, you are allowed to snorkel with the whale shark after chasing them a bit. But the whale shark always just swims away and you cannot keep up with it, then the chase begins again. Here though, we would dive to about 70 feet (about 21 meters) and lay on a ledge and wait for the whale shark to slowly swim by. This is what divers dream about. I shot video and posted the best on my Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/Fourteener ) if you care to see. All in all, I am totally happy with making both voyages on the Galaxy Diver II. Usually, when I travel to go diving I am glad I did it, but also happy to be heading home. While I still had these emotions when this trip ended, I was for the first time, actually tearfully sad because I had exceptionally good experiences and wouldn’t trade it for any other trip. These two weeks have been the flagship trip of my 70 years and I doubt any other trip can beat it. Thank you for getting back to me, I was sincerely surprised. I enjoyed our time together. Yours truly, Robert

Everything we had hoped for our Galapogas dive trip
From start to finish we had an amazing experience on the Galaxy Diver 2. The boat itself is modern, spacious and extremely comfortable. The team onboard are professional and attentive. The food was delicious. The diving was everything we had hoped. We saw Hammerheads, Sealions, Marine Iguana, Red Lipped Bat Fish, Dolphins, Mola Mola's and more. We rented dive gear and it was all in great condition. The heated towel after every dive needs an honorable mention, don't know how I will be able to dive without one in the future.

Just an absolute magical experience to discover the Galapagos on board of the Galaxy Diver II
It was just overall superb. The diving and underwater life, but also the fantastic crew and dive guides Jorge and William! Also we were lucky with our fellow divers and the food was just delicious. The boat was just newly renowated and in top shape and beginning of july was a great month to chose for a liveaboard in the Galapagos. At Wolf and Darwin there was unbelievable action, literally there wasnt a single moment without hammerheads or huge galapagos sharks in your sight!
