If you are in a hurry or lazy to read a long review, stop reading now and email Jimbo for whatever Diving you need in Galapagos, he shall customize it for you. I guarantee that you will not regret your decision as Jimbo promises both fun and safety together at a very reasonable price. He is probably the best dive... More

I came to San Cristobal on my own with a mission to complete my certification, dive Kicker Rock, and see all that the island had to offer. Jimbo helped me reach all of my goals. Aside from the diving, he told me the best spots to go snorkeling, good places to eat/drink, and even arranged for a guide to bring... More

I did both my open water and the advanced padi course with Jimbo. He´s very thorough and makes sure that you know all the theory and equipment before going into the water. Then in the water you go through all the exercises and you get more and more comfortable. I wouldn´t have the advanced course if I hadn´t felt safe... More

Had two dives at Kicker Rock. One before and one after lunch. Although the dive master(Jimbo) had a very relaxed attitude our safety was his first concern. The dive boat appeared to be in good shape being clean and comfortable. Jimbo will take pictures and email them to you without a charge....Nice touch. Overall, had a fun time with Galapagos... More

Jimbo and his team provided me and my family with 3 days of excellent diving, including Kicker Rock, Espanola Island and Punta Pitt. He provided us with a private boat, excellent crew and dive guides. We coordinated the trip through email before we arrived, and Jimbo made sure that everything went as planned. He also helped us with taking underwater... More

I did my open water padi course with the instructor Jimbo (Jose A. Bravo @ Facebook) in March 2012. It was a great experience. As I have problems with claustrophobia Jimbo needed a little bit more time, to make myself comfortable in diving underwater. He made an excellent job. He was very careful about security and the diving equipment he... More

Jose Bravo is an excellent dive master and instructor - the saftey precautions and assistance provided for our dives at Kicker Rock (San Cristobal) were just what my husband and I needed to feel comfortable in the water after a 2-yr diving hiatus. Although we encountered poor weather, Jose made the experience very enjoyable, and we still saw a lot... More

Had a blast diving at Kicker Rock! Jimbo, the dive guide was very knowledgeable and took all the necessary safety precautions for the dive. He was extremely patient and made sure I got to see all of what the ocean had to offer that day....saw lots of Galapagos sharks, hammer heads, eagle rays, sea turtles and sea lions!

I never thought I would get to do anything like this in my life. It was so much fun and very beautiful to see all of the sharks and other creatures around. I got some amazing photos sent to me from our dive guide who was very safe to be with.
