There are 3 options for dive trips in the Galapagos:
Live-Aboards are the only way to dive Wolf & Darwin, universally acclaimed as two of the best dive sites on the planet due to the abundance of pelagic life. If you're a diver, you already know what Wolf & Darwin are all about. In our Live-Aboard section, you'll find specs, itineraries and photos of each of the 6 live-aboards with permits to dive. For an overview, see our exclusive Galapagos Live-Aboard Comparison Chart. As of 2010, the least expensive Galapagos live-aboard will begin at $3695 plus Galapagos flights, National Park Entrance Fees, Fuel Surcharge, etc. We can often save you money on both FITs and charters.
Island Hopping Dive Trips are a new alternative as of June 2009 when we organized the first ever...and were blown away by how great it was. This is a private charter limited to 8 divers that travel together over the course of a week diving from 3-4 islands, depending on the itinerary you choose. The group enjoys the same type of comradery that develops on a live-aboard, yet this option is thousands less than a Galapagos live-aboard. How much less depends on the accommodation class you choose. We are devoted to the diving and not where you sleep at night. Never before has there been such an amazing alternative for diving in the Galapagos. 7 Day/ 6 Night private Galapagos island-hopping dive charters begin at $200 per person per day for just the diving. read more...
Daily Dive Trips from one island are an option if you have limited time or don't want to travel between islands. This is usually the preferred choice for travelers who are either coming off or about to embark on a cruise, be it a dive cruise or a Naturalist cruise. You stay on one island and dive during the day with a local tour operator.
Some local shops operate on a schedule: Mon. - Dive Site A, Tues. - Dive Site B, etc. Some only have a departure if they have enough people so you may be up in the air until the last minute. Be sure that who you book with is not going to outsource it and merely become a middleman. We no longer book daily dives.
We hope you'll feel free to call or write to us if you are interested in diving in the Galapagos...in whatever form.
