Diving in the Galapagos Island

When on vacation, do you choose to be in the ocean exploring a reef or cove? Do you love exploring new areas and oceans?

Choose to visit the Galapagos Islands for an exciting and unique diving experience. On a family or group trip to the Galapagos Islands, you will be able to take advantage of the unspoiled scenery and exotic animal life while living on a yacht designed to accommodate divers.

A certain expertise in diving is required, but the amazing pelagic diving experience on the Galapagos Islands is unmatched in the world. Photographic opportunities are beyond description, as sea life varies from seahorses and blennies to giant manta rays and schools of black-striped salemas. Sharks of all varieties can be photographed, as can sea turtles, barracuda, and jacks.

The Ecuadorian government declared the Galapagos Islands a national park on July 4, 1959. Since then research facilities and the Galapagos National Park Service have been established to assist in research and tourism. The environment is protected carefully and access to the islands is restricted to groups of no more than twenty individuals accompanied by certified guides.

To access the islands, a passport is needed, but no visa is necessary. Currency is the same as in the United States, but Ecuadorian exchange is by electricity - the volt. Check with your travel agent to understand the ramifications of these.

You are sure to enjoy the experience of diving in the Galapagos Islands. Try it for the adventure of a lifetime.
