Diving the Galapagos Islands gives you the opportunity to experience everything from sharks to nudibranchs and more.  The islands are best known for amazing shark diving around Wolf and Darwin Islands.

Diving the Galapagos Islands will include interaction with Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, and schooling hammerheads.  Turtles, schools of tuna, eagle rays and sea lions are very common and between June and November - whalesharks are often seen.  

​

The islands are the underwater photographers dream! Macro photographers can get their fill of seahorses, blennies, hawkfish and nudibranchs of all sorts.  The abundance of rays including spotted rays, mobula rays, golden rays and stingrays along with sea lions and schools of grunts and snapper are ideal for the wide angle photographer.  The variety of life is unlike any other!

​

Best suited for advanced divers with 100 or more dives, diving the Galapagos Islands can be challenging.  Currents can range from 1 to 5 knots and the water temperature ranges from 15 to 24 depending on the time of year.  A 5 or 7mm suit works for most divers with gloves and hoods recommended.

​

Liveaboards give you the best experience in the Galapagos and diving is done from a panga with an easy backward roll into the water.  After the dive, your kit is lifted back into the boat and divers can board using a ladder or with assistnace from the side of the boat
