Yes. Most day dives require Open Water (or equivalent). Advanced sites like Gordon Rocks require more logged dives due to stronger currents. If you’re newer, we’ll suggest suitable sites or PADI training first.
02
We recommend 25+ logged dives and a recent dive within the last year for safety and comfort in currents.
03
You can reserve online or contact our team with your dates, number of logged dives, and any gear needs.
04
Tanks, weights, guide, snacks/lunch, and surface-interval refreshments are included. Full equipment and dive computers can be rented if needed.
05
Galapagos offers year-round diving:
Warm/Wet season (Dec–May): 21–27°C / 70–80°F, calmer seas, great for newer divers.
Cool/Dry season (Jun–Nov): 16–20°C / 60–70°F, nutrient-rich waters that attract hammerheads and mola mola. More challenging conditions.
06
Expect 16–20°C (60–70°F) in cool season and 21–27°C (70–80°F) in warm season. A 5–7mm wetsuit is recommended; some prefer semi-dry/dry suits June–Nov.
07
Depending on season and site, you can encounter hammerheads, rays, sea turtles, sea lions, and more. Wildlife is never guaranteed.
08
Yes, full equipment rental is available (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins). Nitrox is available on some trips for an additional fee.
09
We keep ratios low (usually around 12 divers) and match divers by experience whenever possible for safety and enjoyment.
10
Some sites are beginner-friendly; others have strong currents, surge, and thermoclines. We’ll recommend sites that match your recent experience.
11
Bring a rash guard, sun protection, comfortable shoes for day tours, and a light rain layer. Options on the islands can be limited.
12
Most major islands are accessible. Some (like Darwin & Wolf) are visited only by liveaboards and are famous for diving. National Park rules require guided visits to protected areas.
