Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands represent a pinnacle of diving, a unique volcanic archipelago where major oceanic currents converge, creating a crucible of marine biodiversity. This convergence fuels a nutrient-rich environment that supports an unparalleled abundance of large pelagic species and fascinating endemic creatures found nowhere else on Earth. Divers are drawn here for the legendary schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks, close encounters with marine iguanas, playful sea lions, and the sheer raw, untamed nature of the underwater world. It's a destination that exists in a class of its own, offering truly primeval diving experiences.

Diving conditions in the Galapagos are as challenging as they are rewarding, characterized by strong currents, down-currents, and significant temperature variations with frequent thermoclines. It is primarily a destination for experienced, advanced divers comfortable with drift diving in demanding situations. The sheer spectacle of life, from giant whale sharks and mola mola to Galapagos penguins and sharks, makes every challenging dive an unforgettable adventure. A trip here is a journey to witness evolution in action and experience one of the planet's last truly wild marine ecosystems.
