Diving in Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands have been chosen among the ten best places in the world for diving.

The diving can be practiced in the Galapagos Islands is not just for beginners. Rather, we recommend that divers with an intermediate or advanced level, especially in certain areas due to the currents during July to December (information taken from galapaguide.com). The dive shops will inform you of the particular conditions of time and can also advise less strenuous routes more suitable for beginners.

The Galapagos Islands offer more than 30 dive sites, and you can access them through a combination of a shuttle craft, lasting from one to eight days or a week or two. There are also some dive shops on the island of San Cristobal and Santa Cruz. These stores can take you to the Lobos island (where you dive with seals), Kicker Rock (where there are many hammerhead sharks) and also academy Bay (A five minute boat ride from Santa Cruz, where there are over 10 sites and all for beginners).
