Galapagos Sky Liveaboard
We had a great time on the Sky Liveaboard in the Galapagos. You should be an advanced or better diver on this trip, as there were very often currents great than 5 knots and low visibility. The wildlife was spectacular. My only complaint was an engine on our boat broke the second day and we weren't able to dive one of the locations that I was looking forward to and we did not receive any refund or really an apology for the broken engine. We still made it to Wolf and Darwin, but our trip was definitely diminished by the lack of one engine not working.
The rooms on the boat were very nice. We had an ocean view room and it was comfortable. The boat itself was one of the nicest liveaboard I've been on, although a little older.
The dives were run off dingys that you would load onto and off of every morning. The best diving is at Wolff and Darwin, so as soon as you can get out there, go! They have very strict park rules on how many dives you can do a day anywhere in the Galapagos (only 3). But its still worth the trip, because once you get out to Wolff and Darwin the hammerheads are amazing. You were divided into two groups and each dive was led by a divemaster because of the currents. At Wolff and Darwin, you'd spend 20-30 minutes holding onto something and staying in the same spot watching hammerheads pass you by, and big rays and galapagos sharks. The end of the dive was spent swimming straight into the blue. Never a boring moment as you can run into whale sharks, walls of hammerheads, silky sharks and all sorts of other free swimming blue water fish.
I do not remember loving the food nor do I remember disliking the food, so it must have been decent! The crew was very sweet and did their best to make your trip memorable.
