| Dive guides
with over 5.000 dives in the Islands, English,
French, German and Spanish spoken.
Not all the sites are for the same level
of experience. More than 44 outstanding
dive sites. There are sites for beginners,
intermediates, and experts, we consider divers
beginners at 5 to 30 dives logged; intermediates
30 to 100, experienced more than 100. Although
we do dive with beginners, we generally recommend
an intermediate level of diving skills and
experience for Galápagos. The dive
sites could be changed or cancelled depending
on the weather or sea conditions. The minimum
age to dive is 12 years old.
Our dive limit is 30 meters or 100 feet and
no one can dive alone. Dives depend on the
sea conditions (Currents, wind, visibility,
temperature, surge and other variables). Currents
are unpredictable and may be negligible or
up to 3 knots.
There are two seasons: From January to June,
is the hot season. Rains are most common early
mornings in January. Water temp. 22 - 28C
(70 - 85F) Air temp. 25º - 30ºC (78º - 88ºF) Strong
sun and calm seas. Hottest month is March.
From July to December there may be misty rains,
water temp 16 - 22C (60 - 70F) Air temp. 20
- 26C (68 - 78F) Occasional clouds or overcast,
light rains, and light chop at sea. The coldest
month is September. There are no storms in
Galapagos.
GALAPAGOS is NOT a ZOO or an amusement park.
We do NOT FEED or PET animals. Spearfishing
is forbidden.
Our dive boats have modern equipment
to get you to the dive sites safe, fast and
in comfort, emergency oxygen system and first
aid kit on board.
Since April 2001 there is an hiperbaric chamber in Galápagos
We use first quality dive gear, including
7mm BARE wetsuits, and Oceanic Alpha 8 first
stage, regulator and octopus.
Our tanks are filled with pure air
with no nearby pollution from vehicles.
We are more flexible than other options
in Galápagos. We can supply daily dive
tours for the number of days that you want
or liveaboard cruise tours including visits
to the onshore island visitor sites, or even
just land tours.
