 TRACING DARWINS FOOTSTEPS
Galapagos Diving
The Galapagos Islands are undisputed as being one of the world’s leading areas for scuba diving. The range of underwater wildlife together with the fact that it is all so close-up makes for some memorable dive experiences!
Recent changes to National Park regulations now prohibit diving on all but a very few expensive, specialist dive yachts. Whilst this is a positive development to protect the wildlife it has caused considerable disappointment for many dive-fans as it has greatly limited diving opportunities aboard cruises.

It is not all bad news though as diving daytrips from Santa Cruz Island have not been affected by this rule change and can take you to some wonderful dive sites. |
