Designed for certified divers, the journey combines remote volcanic islands, strong ocean currents, and exceptional marine biodiversity across a week of guided diving experiences aboard a dedicated expedition yacht. 📌 Key Details Duration: 7 Days / 6 Nights Location: Galápagos Islands, Ecuador Activity Type: Liveaboard diving expedition Start Point: Baltra Airport, Galápagos Islands 🧭 What to Expect The experience begins upon arrival in the Galápagos, where you’ll board the liveaboard vessel and meet the dive crew before setting off across the archipelago. Throughout the week, the yacht navigates between some of the most iconic and remote dive sites in the islands, including areas known for large pelagic species and dramatic underwater volcanic formations. Daily life revolves around diving, with multiple guided dives scheduled each day depending on weather and navigation conditions. Expect encounters with hammerhead sharks, whale sharks (seasonal), sea turtles, rays, marine iguanas, Galápagos sharks, and large schools of tropical fish. Some dive sites feature strong currents and deeper conditions, creating thrilling drift dives through nutrient-rich waters. Between dives, guests can relax onboard while crossing between islands and remote marine zones. The yacht provides equipment storage, dining areas, briefing spaces, and comfortable cabins designed for expedition-style travel. Evenings are often spent anchored near volcanic coastlines surrounded by the sounds of the ocean and wildlife. The itinerary typically includes world-renowned diving areas such as Wolf and Darwin Islands, which are considered among the best shark-diving destinations on Earth. Surface intervals and navigation periods also provide opportunities to appreciate the unique volcanic scenery and isolation of the Galápagos archipelago. 📍 Location The Galápagos Islands are located approximately 1,000 kilometres off the coast of mainland Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. The archipelago sits at the meeting point of several major ocean currents, creating one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. Diving conditions vary significantly between islands, with underwater volcanic walls, deep channels, rocky pinnacles, and nutrient-rich waters supporting extraordinary biodiversity. Remote northern islands such as Darwin and Wolf are especially fam… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Meals as described in the itinerary.

This tour is designed for certified divers with previous open water diving experience. Some dive sites in the Galápagos include strong currents and deeper conditions, so comfort with drift diving and ocean environments is highly recommended. ### What happens if I can't make it to one of the activities? Participation in each dive or onboard activity is optional. If you prefer to skip a dive, you are welcome to remain onboard and relax while the rest of the group participates.
