Travel: Galapagos Live-Aboard, Santa Cruz Extension

When I learned diving in Spain in the summer of 1998 I was immediately hooked on it. I became a diving instructor with PADI in 2007. Currently I work on a Portuguse diving base called Scuba Tour, diving and training in the Atlantic ocean.  All this time I had this very big dream and that is diving the Galapagos Islands. In my head, this became the big crown on my diving career.

Luckily I picked Dive The Galapagos to help me fulfill my dream. Leslie and her very experienced co-workers and crew really put my experience into one of a unique high standard.  And, of course, the Galapagos area really delivers. I have been to many places to dive but never did I see so many big things as in the Galapagos. Hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, Manta rays, Sea horses, Sealions, Dolphins, Whalesharks - it was all there.

There are a lot of offers out there on the internet, to fulfill your dream. You better pick safe and pick quality, you better pick Dive the Galapagos.

Travel: Galapagos Island Hopping Dive Tour

On Pre-Trip Information and Communication: Pre-trip information was good.  It’s hard to understand just how dysfunctional it is down there.  I very much enjoyed talking with you ahead of time.  One suggestion is to gently tell people how poor the communication is down there between islands.  I figured, because they have internet, that it wouldn’t be as difficult.  You website is fantastic.  And your communications were perfect.

On the Diving: I've been diving since 1983. Dove all over the world. Galapagos is not the most difficult but it's pretty far up there because of the currents and fauna. I had a great time on every dive. Even the ones where I was sluggish about getting in.  They were all amazing dive sites.

Dive Guide was a 10! Macaroon is one of the best natural divers I have ever dove with. He has a great presence and his ability to understand the currents and the situation was unbelievable!

Conclusion: Wonderful trip!  Amazing diving!  I cannot commend Leslie strongly enough.  Organizing and pulling off a trip such as hers would seem nearly impossible in the Galapagos but she managed to do it without missing a beat.

Travel:  Galapagos Island Hopping Dive Tour and 7 Day Isabela Extension

On Pre-Trip Information and Communication: I had quick responses from Leslie answering all my questions and giving more more information than I could deal with. I was probably one of the most awkward customers they have ever had, but all my questions / problems were quickly answered and resolved. No other dive company on the Galapagos ever responded to anything I asked.

On Quality of Dive The Galapagos Service: 10 out of 10. As above, pre trip all questions and problems were answered / resolved very quickly and efficiency. The same goes for our time on the islands. Leslie did everything in her power (and often beyond) to make sure we had a great, comfortable, relaxing and amazing time on the islands. I have never been taken care of so well on a Holiday.

On the Diving: I saw things I had never heard of, things I never thought I would see and things I have dreamed of seeing. I enjoyed the non diving activities as well (snorkeling with mantas and los tunneles were amazing 'extras' on the dive itinerary. Great boat and crew. The lunches and snacks provided were so much more than I expected. Another great job by Leslie.

Conclusion: I have recommended this trip to others and will continue to do so because it was the best few days of my three month trip to South America.  This was in no small part due to leslie and her Galapagos diving trip. Thank you

Travel: Galapagos Island Hopping Dive Tour

It was amazing, the islands were great, the dives were beyond expectations. We really think the whole tour was great, maybe the food at dinner must be different with more choices for the all inclusive packages.

Diving was excellent, we saw everythhing we wanted to see: White tipped sharks, hamme heads, galapagos sharks, giant rays, mantas, sea horses, pinguins, etc, etc, etc...

We think we are very lucky to find Leslie, because she arranged everything for us and really she made a great job. the group we were in, the dive master , the hotels, the land tours, everything was very well done. This trip for us has been one of the best ones we have done, so great, beautiful, and with an excellent crew.
