The town is also home to research centres, restaurants, and coastal walkways. Diving and snorkelling excursions depart by yacht to surrounding islands and marine sites, all managed under strict park controls to protect fragile ecosystems and regulate visitor numbers. Prerequisites ✅ Participants must hold a recognised scuba diving certification and present a valid diver’s licence before diving.

This itinerary is designed for certified scuba divers who already have experience diving in currents and variable conditions. It is particularly suitable for those looking to combine diving with broader island exploration. Travellers without a valid diving certification or sufficient logged dives will not be able to participate in the dive days. ### How challenging is diving at Gordon Rocks? Gordon Rocks is considered an advanced dive site due to strong currents, depth, and down-currents that can occur. Divers should be confident with buoyancy control and drift diving techniques. Those with fewer than 30 logged dives are advised to seek guidance before booking. ### Is diving equipment included? Diving is included as part of the programme, but equipment availability can vary. It’s recommended to confirm equipment rental requirements in advance. Personal dive computers and safety equipment are strongly recommended. ### What marine life might I see while diving? Depending on conditions, divers may encounter reef sharks, rays, turtles, schooling fish, and pelagic species. Sightings vary by site and season. Wildlife encounters are natural and cannot be guaranteed. ### What is the purpose of the snorkelling days? Snorkelling activities offer additional opportunities to observe marine life in shallower, calmer waters and help divers acclimatise before deeper dives. They also allow non-diving moments to enjoy the marine environment without full dive gear. ### How large are the dive groups? Dive yachts typically carry between 12 and 16 passengers. Group sizes are managed to comply with park regulations and safety standards. Guides provide briefings and oversight throughout each dive day. ### What happens if diving conditions are unsuitable? If conditions are unsafe or sites are unavailable due to park regulations, alternative sites or activities may be substituted. Safety and environmental protection always take priority. ### Are meals provided on diving days? Breakfast is provided at the hotel, and lunch is served on board the yacht during diving and snorkelling excursions. Dinners are not included, allowing flexibility in Puerto Ayora. ### Can solo travellers book this tour? Solo travellers can request pricing, but the tour requires a minimum of two passengers to operate. Availability is subject to confirmation. ### What should I pack for this trip? Bring sun protection, swimwear, a long-sleeved shirt, reef-safe sunscreen, sturdy walking shoes for lava terrain, and personal dive gear if preferred. Additional recommendations and safety briefings are provided locally before activities. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/6-Day-Galapagos-Diving-Tourturtle-swimming-in-water.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 9 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
