Our Galapagos Liveaboard diving excursions provide an unparalleled opportunity to explore the diverse marine life of the region, ranging from sharks to nudibranchs and beyond. The islands are renowned for their incredible shark diving sites, particularly around Wolf and Darwin Islands, which can only be accessed by liveaboard vessels. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of shark species, including Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, and schooling hammerheads being cleaned by king angelfish. Other common sights include marine turtles, schools of tuna, eagle rays, and sea lions, with the possibility of encountering a majestic whale shark.

Underwater photography enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to capture stunning images of macro marine life, such as sea horses, barnacle blennies, coral hawkfish, and many others. Rays are abundant at many of the dive sites, including spotted rays, marble rays, golden rays, and stingrays, along with sea lions, sea turtles, schools of grunts, and snappers. The variety of marine life in this region is unparalleled, with thick schools of the native brown striped Salema, snappers, groupers, Chevron barracuda, and huge sea turtles being common sightings.

It is important to note that currents can range from 1 to 5 knots at the sites we visit, and visibility typically ranges between 30 and 80 feet. To ensure comfort and safety, most divers prefer to wear a 7mm wetsuit with a hooded vest and gloves. We strongly recommend that all divers wear gloves and hoods during their dives.
