Testimonials

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

“We spent 10 days in March with Scuba Iguana and everything went very well, both the land excursions and the dives. The organization by Lisa was perfect. Thanks to Gabi, Saimon, Enrique and the rest of the team for their involvement in the dives and their concern for safety. Magnificent professionals.”

“Top Diving School: we had to book at short notice, got immediate responses, and booked a PADI OWD for my son and a Nitrox course for me. Immediately noticing the competence and good spirit on the boat, after a few days, we were looking forward to diving with friends. The lovely crew and top-notch guides will provide you with everything you could ask for to effortlessly explore this underwater paradise. Thank you Edison, Kowi and the whole Scuba Iguana team for some of the best diving days of our lives.”

“We made a rather last minute decision to visit Galapagos and the initial inquires I sent out to places that looked promising online went mostly unanswered. We wanted to do some diving and when I saw Scuba Iguana offered customized packages I contacted them. Best choice I could have made. Sabine responded promptly and put together a first class land tour and diving package for us, including accommodations and transportation. She was super easy and fun to work with. Her recommendations were spot on and everything worked seamlessly. We couldn't have done better. Thank you Sabine and Suba Iguana!”

“My daughter and I went on a dive trip in the Galapagos. The Scuba Iguana agency had many positive reviews, so I contacted them and briefly described what we wanted: lots of dives, shore excursions and some islands. Lisa in sales got back to me right away. She offered me a trip plan and, after several exchanges of views and ideas, Lisa put together an itinerary for us. From the moment we landed in Santa Cruz Galapagos, the agency handled the execution of the iteration exceptionally well. The dive guides, boat crew, equipment and transportation from place to place were all done with the highest level of professionalism and service, always with a smile. I have no doubt that if we make another trip to Galapagos, the choice will be Scuba Iguana. Simply a professional store that provides you with a very high quality service.”

“Scuba Iguana's dive team is a well organized team that makes diving seamless. Quime (Kiki) is the lead dive guide who does an excellent safety briefing along with a profile of the dive site and what to expect regarding currents, sea critters etc. We dove with Kiki on all of our dives and even though he has dived in the Galapagos for 27 years and has 10,000 dives, he still gets excited during each dive. We were so fortunate to see schools of spotted eagle rays, scalloped hammerheads, mobula rays, yellow rays, manta rays, endemic garden eels, endemic black striped Selema fish, turtles, King angel fish, tuna, trevalies, variety of other fish and white tip sharks. At Gordon Rocks we even saw a Mola Mola jump out of the water! He is a fantastic dive guide and lots of fun. Every dive guide at Scuba Iguana provides the same experience that we had. We would highly recommend this dive operator as safety is number one but they are a lot of fun and very organized. It is a very professional team.”
