all your gear and the prices include
all beverages, including wines &
liquors and up to 4 dives daily with
a naturalist dive instructor & a

round-trips from San Cristobal.
Specially built for diving,
the popular
Sky
Dancer is a
100-foot luxury motor yacht which easily
takes 16 people in comfortable
surroundings.
Spacious living areas, with
elegant teak paneling, welcome you

non-diving hours. There's a main

DIVING
& ITINERARIES
You will
have 2-4 dives daily, depending on
weather and sea conditions. All
itineraries will be 8 day/7 night trips.
WHAT WILL I SEE?
Whale
sharks, hammerheads sharks, Galapagos
sharks, white tip sharks . . . . .
tunas, mantas, stingrays, eagle rays, .
. . . . . barracudas, snappers, goatfish, wahoo,
groupers & mola mola . . . . . dolphins, sea lions,
penguins, moray eels, turtles & red-lipped batfish . . .

And that's not
all. There is a broad spectrum of
marine life
that make the Galapagos Islands one of
the world’s foremost diving wonders.
Exactly what you see, of course,
will depend on the time of year, the region
of the Galapagos and, needless to say,
the weather & current conditions.
WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
Water temperatures in the southern islands can get as low as the mid sixties in the cooler season, but the northern islands of Darwin & Wolf are usually 10 degrees warmer.
Because of the currents in Galapagos the temperatures can change rapidly.
Outside the water, temperatures are generally pleasant & shorts and t shirts are comfortable attire. Still, we recommend carrying a sweatshirt as evenings on the deck can be cool. Definitely expect some challenging diving in many areas where the currents are strong.

WHEN TO GO
Galapagos is a year-round destination.
In general, May to November, the time of cooler water temps, is the best season for Whale Sharks.
During the warmer water season, December to April, there will usually be a greater preponderance of ray species.
But there is so much all year round that it doesn't make a great deal of difference when you choose to go.
You are always assured of a magical adventure. |
