Galapagos Diving

Diving the Galapagos just isn't what it used to be! In 2007, the Galapagos National Park revoked most of the scuba diving licenses. The options for diving are greatly limited and they fill up very quickly.

Live Aboard

There are currently only four boats still offering scheduled live-aboard diving itineraries. They fill up quickly, so plan ahead!

Land-Based Diving

There are a number of hotels on Santa Cruz that offer daily dive and tour options. This is often the best option as it offers the most flexible dates, a variety of itineraries, and the best value. You can also do an "island hopping" itinerary which combines Santa Cruz and Isabella Islands for more variety.

Charter Boats

There are several boats in the Galapagos that can be chartered for diving (typically 14-16 passengers). The charter will also need a certified Galapagos dive master, who will also provide certain equipment.
