Galápagos Province

Galápagos Province offers unique offshore diving in the South Pacific, centered around the Galápagos archipelago. The region features nutrient-rich waters, strong currents, and a mix of pelagic encounters, large schools, and endemic species. Access is primarily by liveaboard or short port calls to Santa Cruz and Isabela, with best conditions often tied to pelagic seasons and sea conditions. Divers commonly encounter hammerhead schools, reef sharks, marine iguanas in the intertidal zones near landfalls, and endemic species on tagged volcanic formations. The region suits experienced divers, with some sites requiring boat travel and drift diving expertise, and limits on land-based options.
