"We dove in all Galápagos islands and the best company by far was Nauti Diving. The crew and dive masters (Marco and Jesus) are super friendly and they've got the best boat: a big sailing boat with enough space to sunbath on the deck or chill inside the boat (all other companies use small speed boats). Good fresh cooked lunch because the boat has a well prepared kitchen and a rich snack after the first diving with patacones. Free coffee or tea the whole trip. We ended up diving 3 days with then and would definitely repeat!
