Galapagos November 14-22, 2027
Availability: In Stock
Galapagos is about 620 miles from the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. The 19 islands sit at the conjunction of three ocean currents and are considered the “melting pot” of marine life. The island inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection during his visit in 1835.
For pelagic lovers, the Galapagos is a diver’s dream come true! Every dive unveils a breathtaking spectacle of graceful sea turtles gliding through the currents, majestic hammerhead sharks commanding the depths, and playful sea lions darting through the underwater landscape.
Above land is just as magical! While in Galapagos, you will be able to visit North Seymour Island to see everything from marine iguanas to blue-footed boobies. As well as visit the Highlands of Santa Cruz, where Charles Darwin Station houses giant land tortoises.
What To Expect
Scuba Diving
Galapagos is unquestionably the hammerhead shark capital of the world. Still, it is also home to the sleek Galapagos shark, horn shark, white tip, silkies and the occasional pelagic visitors like the tiger shark. And that’s just the beginning. You will also have the opportunity to see whale sharks, giant manta rays, giant schools of fish and incredible macro marine life. You’re going to wonder if a week is enough time to see it all!
One of the most popular dive sites in Galapagos is “Darwin’s Arch.” It provides great drift diving with medium to strong currents. Unfortunately, in 2021, the top part of the arch collapsed due to natural erosion, but the pillars remain standing and still provide incredible diving.

Michael Dugan
Independent Scuba Instructor
I started diving in the early 80s, and in those few years I’ve learned that the phrase “let’s get in the water” is something to live by. Bubble therapy is highly underrated. In my life I’ve been blessed with great health, great friends, a wonderful relationship with the water, and the ability to share my passion with others. My dive career started in the Navy in 1985 aboard fast attack submarines and my goal at Diventures is to show “my world” to others by teaching and showing my passion to others and giving each student the opportunity to make it their world, too.
