Going to the Galapagos for diving, we made the right choice! There were three liveaboard that my son and I were considering. If you haven’t chosen the Tiburon Explorer, you are missing out. WOW! What a great time and a wonderful experience. The crew was exceptional, fun, super helpful going diving and especially coming back, especially Juan Carlos. Hot chocolate was offered each time we came back from a dive, hot showers, warm towels, help taking off your wetsuits and gear. The Captian met you at the top of the stairs with a “Welcome back” and undid your velcro neck piece and pulled down the sipper on your wetsuit. There was nothing they didn’t do for you, even though at times you were thinking, “you know, I can do this myself”. So much fun.
The entire crew knew how to make the trip a fantastic time for all. The food was amazing also, along with the service, including taking care of your suites. The accommodations were perfect, comfortable beds, private showers The two dive instructors were top notch, Naty and Jorge were informative, knowlegable, fun to be around, you couldn’t ask for more. 18 dives were offered, the dive briefing were educational and also had some history of the Galapagos thrown in.
Being the first time for us to be on a liveaboard, I wonder if we will ever be satisfied with a different one.
