Diving in Galapagos

Galápagos diving is a once-in-a-lifetime underwater experience, reserved for divers seeking the rare, the remote, and the extraordinary. Located at the intersection of powerful ocean currents, the Galápagos delivers some of the most wildlife-rich and dynamic scuba diving on the planet.

This is iconic big-animal diving. Encounters with hundreds of scalloped hammerhead sharks, along with Galápagos sharks, silky sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, and seasonal whale sharks, are not rare moments — they are the hallmark of the experience. Add playful sea lions, massive schools of fish, marine turtles, tuna, and barracuda, and every dive feels cinematic.

Beneath the surface, volcanic landscapes frame unforgettable scenes for world-class underwater photography, from dramatic wide-angle shark formations to intricate macro life including seahorses, nudibranchs, blennies, and red-lipped batfish.

Diving conditions are challenging and rewarding, with cooler water, strong currents, and ever-changing visibility that fuel the Galápagos’ unmatched biodiversity. Guided dives operate under strict Galápagos National Park protections, preserving this pristine marine ecosystem for generations.

For experienced divers, Galápagos scuba diving is not just a trip — it is a bucket-list, legacy experience that defines what dive travel truly means.

Diving Information

1/5

Diving from panga (tender)

All diving is conducted from a panga (also known as an inflatable or tender). Divers will prepare their gear on the dive deck of the Galapagos Sky. The crew will place fins in the panga, and divers will walk to the gangway and, with the crew’s assistance, lower themselves into the panga. Cameras will be handed down by the crew as well.

Once seated in the panga, divers will receive their fins to put on. At the dive site, the Dive Guide will conduct a final self and buddy check before signaling to dive. Divers must perform a simultaneous back-roll entry. Cameras will be handed to divers by the panga driver. At certain sites, divers may be asked to perform a negative entry (no air in the BCD) for a quicker descent in stronger currents.

Dolphins

1/10

Dive briefings

Dive Briefings will be provided on board before each dive. Divers are expected to follow the Dive Guide, adhere to signals and instructions, and stay with the group throughout the dive. If a diver needs to end their dive early, they must be able to conduct a proper ascent with their dive buddy, complete a safety stop, and signal the panga driver once safely buoyant at the surface.

Dives typically last around 50 minutes, with depths generally ranging from 60 feet (18 meters) to 100 feet (30 meters).

Diver ratio

8:1 With a full boat of 16 guests, divers will be placed in two groups of 8. Each group of 8 divers will have 1 Galapagos National Park certified Dive Guide.

Days 3-4-5 | 4 Dives a day at Wolf (including 1 night dive) | Wed: 4 dives at Darwin | Thurs: 3 Dives total, 2 at Darwin and 1 afternoon dive at Wolf.

Wolf and Darwin Islands are renowned as some of the best dive sites in the world.

Darwin Island, particularly The Pillars (former Arch), offers unparalleled diving with schooling hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, and large pods of dolphins. From June to November, whale sharks are frequently spotted. The site also features thick schools of skipjack and yellowfin tuna, bigeye jacks, mobula rays, and occasional tiger sharks, marlin, and killer whales. Warm water temperatures and a variety of tropical fish enhance the experience.

Wolf Island, another top dive location, is known for its abundant shark sightings, including schooling hammerheads and aggregations of Galapagos sharks. Whale sharks are occasionally seen, along with dolphins, large schools of tuna, spotted eagle rays, and sea turtles. These waters attract Indo-Pacific species, and night dives reveal unique creatures like the Red Lipped batfish. The steep, vertical cliffs of these islands mean no shore excursions are possible, reinforcing their exclusivity and remote allure.

Day 2 | One Land visit + 2 dives

Start your day with a full breakfast, followed by a land visit to North Seymour. After lunch, enjoy some relaxation time and dive briefings before heading out for Dive 2 and Dive 3 at Cousins Rock.

North Seymour Island, renowned for its iconic blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigate birds. Visitors frequently witness the blue-footed booby’s elaborate courtship dance, where males showcase their bright blue feet to attract mates. The island is also a prime spot for observing the magnificent frigate bird’s striking red throat pouch during courtship displays. Additionally, you’ll encounter vibrant land iguanas and playful sea lions, making it a truly memorable wildlife experience.

Cousin Rocks is a top dive site featuring a stunning wall, black corals, and abundant marine life. Expect to see frogfish, seahorses, scorpionfish, octopuses, and large schools of barracuda. Sea lions often accompany divers during safety stops. The site offers minimal current.

Day 6 | 3 Dives

AM Fernandina Island / PM Isabela Island

Cape Douglas on Fernandina Island offers a unique and thrilling diving experience, renowned for its remarkable marine iguana encounters. This dive site features a rugged underwater landscape with volcanic formations and a rich marine ecosystem.

Punta Vicente Roca on Isabela Island, our coldest yet rapidly growing favorite dive site features a steep, deep vertical wall adorned with soft corals, sponges, and endemic black corals. Divers will find a fascinating array of macro invertebrates, including Spanish lobster, shrimp, and nudibranchs, as well as bullhead sharks and red-lipped batfish. Mola Mola (oceanic sunfish) are the primary megafauna sightings. The wall also boasts a vibrant display of anemones and other macro invertebrates.

After your dive, the panga ride offers excellent photo opportunities with penguins, flightless cormorants, marine iguanas, sea lions and blue footed boobies.

Day 7 | 1 dive + land visit

AM Pinzon Island / PM Santa Cruz Island

Start your day with a full breakfast, followed by a dive at Pinzon Island. After lunch and relaxation, you’ll take a land visit to the Highlands of Santa Cruz, where you’ll encounter Giant Tortoises. Enjoy some free time in town before heading back to the Galapagos Sky.
