THE GALAPAGOS DIVING ENVIRONMENT:
drift diving, advanced divers, out of the ordinary Experienced divers often consider this legendary dive destination in Ecuador to represent something of a pinnacle in their diving careers. In that regard, many agree that the Galapagos Islands have quite simply the best life-board diving trips in the world, plus incredible non-dive wildlife adventure cruises.
Such is the variety of creatures, that it is difficult to avoid lists when it comes to diving in Galapagos. Imagining a vacation with sea lions, penguins, seals, eagle rays, marine iguanas, hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, sea turtles, golden rays, and whale sharks is a phenomenal experience. These encounters, which are both educational and exciting, highlight the appeal of the archipelago.
Scuba Diving in the Galapagos Islands with Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks
While many places have superior reefs, sea conditions and ease of access, there is no other chain of islands here, the area is in a huge protected marine reserve and practically free of commercial fishing, and the waters, especially in the islands of Darwin and Wolf. - are densely populated by a vast and disparate variety of sea creatures. Since the Galapagos are oceanic volcanic islands, disconnected from the mainland, the upwelling currents of the deep sea make the waters rich in nutrients and therefore thriving with life.
Learning about evolution by natural selection in a place where the evidence is so compelling and where historically, the Galapagos Islands played such an important role in developing Darwin's revolutionary thinking is truly a unique vacation experience. Doing so in this remote part of Ecuador, where every dive promises extraordinary sightings, is nothing less than a "once in a lifetime must" experience for any semi serious diver.
DIVE SITE DESCRIPTIONS FOR GALAPAGOS

Add silky sharks, sea turtles, giant morays and schooling fish in their thousands into the mix… and that’s just the first dive at Darwin!
DIVING FACTS & QUESTIONS
WHAT IS DIVING LIKE IN GALAPAGOS?
In a word, amazing! However, diving around the Galapagos Islands is a little more difficult due to the presence of some strong currents, slightly cooler water temperatures, and rugged underwater terrain.
All diving in the Galapagos is done from diving platforms or a boat (known locally as a "panga"). Diving from a panga can be physically challenging for some, although it allows access to some of the best diving spots in the world.
Due to these circumstances, diving in the Galapagos is not suitable for beginners or those who may have problems with the conditions: most cruises require an Advanced Open Water qualification and at least 30 logged dives. However, for those who do meet the requirements, it is a diving trip not to be missed, especially thanks to the large number of sharks and large pelagic fish you will encounter.
HOW DOES DIVING WORK IN GALAPAGOS?
Being a National Park, Galapagos has strict regulations for its visitors and its tour operators; In this way, not only is the environment conserved and the species that live freely on the islands are protected, but the safety of visitors to the archipelago is ensured.
YOU WILL BE DIVING IN A NATIONAL PARK?
All expedition itineraries in the Galapagos Islands must be previously approved by the Galapagos National Park. All visiting sites, trails, permitted activities, etc. They have been carefully selected to produce the least possible impact while offering visitors stunning views and interaction with wildlife. The same goes for diving spots!
WHAT EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED FOR DIVING IN THE GALAPAGOS?
Due to its currents Only experienced divers should be going on a liveaboard. (Minimum Advanced Open Water, 50 logged dives, and experience in cold water and currents.)
HOW DIFFICULT IS DIVING IN GALAPAGOS?
It all depends
on the type of diver you are and the experience you want to have! Being located
in the Pacific Ocean, literally in the middle of the world, the Galapagos
Islands are the convergence point of several important marine currents such as:
The cold
Humboldt current
Cromwell's Cold
Current
The warm current
of Panama
These currents
are loaded with nutrients that, in turn, attract marine life. This can be
extremely striking to some divers; However, the interaction of these currents
with the geography of the islands makes certain dive sites a little more
complex than others. Sometimes these fluctuating currents carry divers along.
Additionally, depending on the depth of the dive, some sites also have limited
visibility, ranging from approximately 10 to 21 meters (32 to 68 feet) or less,
and low temperatures.
For this reason,
it is extremely important to choose a dive site according to our capabilities
where we know how to react to any event that may arise.
DRIFT DIVING: In this type of dive, the diver is transported by the movement of the water current. Many people consider this type of diving an underwater “flight.” While it is true that you have less chance of interacting with wildlife due to the speed at which you are moving, you will be able to cover more ground.
DEEP DIVE: This type of diving is done below 18 meters (59 feet). The recommended limit for PADI-licensed divers is up to 40 meters (131 feet) deep due to the complications that could occur if you go deeper. In this type of diving you can experience low temperatures and difficulty in visibility; However, the species that can be seen are truly fascinating!
REEF DIVING: As its name indicates, this type of diving will take us to explore the richness of the underwater geography of the Galapagos Islands. The reefs are loaded with interesting marine life that has amazed more than one diver with its charm.
CAN BEGINNERS DIVE IN THE GALAPAGOS?
Galapagos Islands is a truly unique experience. So yes, you should definitely take that PADI scuba diving Galapagos beginner course before opting for a liveaboard.
WHEN TO DIVE IN GALAPAGOS?
In the Galapagos you can dive well all year round, but the best time is usually from June to December. The water temperature is coldest between September and November with the thermoclines, although this also tends to coincide with the arrival of some of the larger species.
HOW IS DIVING VISIBILITY IN GALAPAGOS?
Although there can be 30 meter (100 feet) visibility in the Galapagos Islands, the more common visibility conditions are between 10 – 20 meters (30 – 70 feet).
Visibility is very dependent on the amount of plankton in the water. For this reason, the colder months of the year have poorer visibility than the warmer months. In exchange, more plankton in the water means more activity.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT AND DIVE THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS?
Our most popular question! Truly, Galapagos offers phenomenal year-round diving. offers liveaboard cruising all twelve months of the year and visits the unbelievable islands of Wolf and Darwin on every trip. There are two “seasons” for Galapagos diving:
WHALE SHARK SEASON (from June to November)
The water is cooler, 60-75°F, 15-24°C.
MANTA SEASON (December through May)
The water is warmer, clearer 68-82°F, 18-28°C

THE PROPER RULES TO FOLLOW FOR DIVING?
Never dive without a buddy.
Never dive if you have a cold or have stuffy ears or nose.
Always plan your dive, and always dive within the planned path.
Check your diving equipment to make sure it works. Use suitable equipment that can carry out your intended dive.
Do not drink alcohol or drugs before diving.

If necessary, you will be directed to the nearest hyperbaric chamber or appropriate medical facility.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DIVE HERE?
We highly recommend a liveaboard experience because the most interesting dive sites are remote and are around islands whose shores tourists aren’t permitted to visit on foot.
SUNSCREEN - REEF SAFE SUNSCREENS ONLY ?
The use of sunscreen containing the chemicals oxybenzone, octinoxate, and others harmful to marine ecosystems is regulated and restricted to sustain and protect the coral reefs.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR DIVERS?
Children 15 years and up who are certified and have the prerequisite number of logged dives may dive when accompanied by an experienced diving parent.
WHERE DO OUR GALAPAGOS DIVING TRIPS STARTS?
Baltra and San Cristobal Airport is used for embarking and disembarking.
WHAT ABOUT FLYING AFTER DIVING ?
Current studies show that you should wait at least 24 hours after multiple days with repetitive diving before flying. Please keep this in mind before you book your onward international or domestic flights.
IS THERE NIGHT DIVING?
Yes, bring your torch! There are 2 sites where night dives are permitted. One is at Wolf July – December and the other is at Cabo Marshall January – June. We also have a small swim through at Wolf which is so much more beautiful with a torch.

Yes, all dives are dinghy diving.
WHAT GEAR DO DIVING LIVEABOARDS USUALLY HAVE?
Most diving cruises have the following gear available for rent: BCD, Reg-set, wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins, computer, and gloves.
DOES GALAPAGOS HAVE A RECOMPRESSION CHAMBER?
Yes it does. There is an SSS chamber in Puerto Ayora which is open 24/7 . So if you are in need of emergency treatment it can be done in the islands without having to return to mainland Ecuador.
DO THE LIVEABOARDS RENT EQUIPMENT, OR SHOULD I TAKE MY OWN?
Yes they do rent equipment, refer to our rental pricing.
DO I NEED INSURANCE?
Dive insurance is mandatory. We recommend Divers Alert Network for the US or Europe. If you live in another country, please check with your provider to make sure your policy has both recompression chamber and evacuation coverage.
Though the government has delayed enforcing the policy, it will become mandatory to have health insurance for the time you are in Ecuador. If your existing coverage does not provide international coverage, often a simple travel policy purchased when you buy your international flights will provide health coverage sufficient for the requirement.
Though travel insurance is not required, it is recommended in the event you have to cancel your departure due to illness, loss of employment or in the event you miss your connecting flight which causes you to miss your departure. Please read the fine print. What you assume is covered may not be.
WETSUIT NEEDED FOR MY TRIP?
Typically a 7mm thickness is recommended.hat is th
WHATS THE DIVE INSURANCE NEEDED?
Do not confuse regular travel medical and/or travel insurance with diving-specific insurance such as DAN (Divers Alert Network) or Dive Assure. This type of insurance will cover all of your scuba diving and snorkeling activities, including the costs for recompression chamber treatment and emergency air evacuation. These are not covered by the average travel insurance.
We usually recommend contacting DAN or Dive Assure who can set you up with a travel insurance plan which includes general travel insurance, including trip cancellation …. plus full dive coverage.
WHAT ARE THE CYLINDER SIZES?
The standard cylinders with us 11 Litres (80 cuft) aluminium, which are included in the liveaboard price.

DECOMPRESSION DIVES OR TECHNICAL DIVING?
Due to the remoteness of the Galapagos Islands, the local diving regulations and insurance requirements do not allow decompression or technical dives.
CAN I TAKE PEOPLE WHO DON'T DIVE ON MY BOAT AS COMPANIONS?
No, we prefer not to take people who are not going to dive. If the companion decides to snorkel while the other passengers are diving, she will do this activity on her own (without a guide), in deep waters and may get dizzy while she waits on the boat for the other passengers.
CAN NON DIVERS ACCOMPANY ME ON A DIVE TRIP?
No, we prefer not to take non divers on the dive boat for snorkeling. Most of the time they would be the only one snorkeling, most people don’t like snorkeling in deep water, and many times non divers get quite seasick waiting for the divers to surface.

Some of the best Galapagos diving sites for shark spotting include: Los Tuneles (Isabela Island), Darwin Bay (Genovesa Island), and North Seymour.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO GO ON A LIVEABOARDUP NORTH (DARWIN AND WOLF)?
1) from January to May which is the hot/rainy season. This season is influenced by the warm currents of Panama and El Niño and the environment is tropical. These warm currents typically bring with them calmer waters and fairly favorable conditions both underwater and on the surface. This time is appropriate for beginner divers, technical diving expeditions and the opportunity to observe manta rays. The productivity of marine ecosystems is normally low at this time of year (lower plankton production and upwellings). This lower productivity makes it more difficult to find large animals like the whale shark. Additionally, gentler currents make it less likely to see large schools of sharks (they are seen, but in smaller numbers). However, the diving is still excellent during this time. During this season, water temperatures average 25-28°C (77-80°F) but significant thermoclines can occur. Normally the depth of the thermocline will determine at what depth marine life is found. The ambient temperature reaches an average of 25-28°C, presenting cloudy skies, showers and strong sunshine.
2) from June to November is the cold season or garúa season. This time is influenced by the cold Humboldt Current that comes from Antarctica and carries nutrients and plankton that create important upwellings, which is why it is more common to observe megafauna such as whale sharks and large schools of hammerhead sharks. During this time, the water temperature reaches an average of 19-23°C (66-73°F) with less presence of thermoclines. The ambient temperature ranges between 21-24°C, presenting overcast skies and clouds. There are also clear skies in certain areas of the archipelago.
WHAT FISH CAN I SEE DIVING IN THE GALAPAGOS?
Diving in the Galapagos gives you the opportunity to encounter an amazing variety of fish and marine life. Some of the most notable species you can see include:
Hammerhead sharks: Hammerhead sharks are one of the most exciting attractions in the Galapagos. You can see them at dive sites like Darwin and Wolf, where they swim in impressive groups.
Galapagos Whitetip Sharks: These sharks are common in Galapagos waters and are easy to spot while diving.
Whale sharks: These huge sharks, despite their size, are gentle and harmless creatures. They are an impressive sight for lucky divers.
Manta rays: Giant manta rays are majestic and elegant. You can find them at dive sites like Gordon Rocks.
Galapagos Snapper Fish: These brightly colored fish are common in Galapagos waters and add a touch of color to your dives.
Sea turtles: The waters of the Galapagos are home to several species of sea turtles, such as green turtles and giant tortoises.
Marine Iguanas: The Galapagos is the only place on Earth where you can find marine iguanas swimming and feeding underwater.
Dolphins: Dolphins, such as spotted dolphins, are common in the region and often join boats and divers.
Parrot Fish: Colorful parrot fish are a common sight on the Galapagos coral reefs.
Clownfish: Also known as anemone fish, they are known for their symbiotic relationship with anemones and are seen at various dive sites.
WHAT ARE THE CURRENTS LIKE IN THE GALAPAGOS?
Currents are probably the most challenging condition for diving in the Galapagos. On many occasions, they can reach 4 knots, making it impossible to swim against them. The intensity and direction of currents can change with depth and without prior notice (normally the same dive site has different conditions from one dive to another). Eddies and currents that go from top to bottom are frequent in some places in the archipelago. These types of conditions can be difficult for novice divers to handle. However, most dive sites offer suitable areas where our experienced guides can take these types of divers.
