The Dives:
The dive conditions around the Galapagos Islands are fantastic with a huge diversity in species due to the
currents and water temperature.
Galapagos has two very different climatic seasons with a warm and sunny period between December and May and a cooler and more cloudy season from June until November.
During the warm season, there is usually very little
wind - The sea is generally calm and the visibility is good.
The water temperature varies between 16 and 24 degrees
Celsius. Diving in a semidry suit is recommended all year round.
Sometimes an underwater current from the western Pacific hits the biggest island Isabela, pushing the cold and nutrient rich water towards the surface.
This is the reason why the water temperature can vary by more than 6 degrees
Celsius and the visibility can be limited in times.
Exact details concerning your dive experience (certificate and logbook) are necessary, as well as a medical statement, which should not be older than one year.
Galapagos offers very interesting and good dive spots for beginners, advanced and very experienced divers alike. However, the best dive spots are usually also the most difficult ones with strong currents and drop-offs.
Diving with a qualified dive guide is not only
important, but is required by the local law. The maximum allowed depth is 30
meters. Maximum dive time is 60 minutes, or when you reach a minimum pressure of 50 bars in your tank.
Our dive boat was built according to the local high standards with enough room for your equipment and the pre-dive preparation.
The boat is also equipped with emergency oxygen, first aid box, and GPS.
