What is it like diving in Galapagos? What are the diving requirements?

In a word, amazing! However, diving around the Galápagos Islands is a little more challenging because of strong currents, slightly colder water temperatures, and rugged underwater terrain. All diving is done from platforms or from a dinghy, known locally as a panga, which can be physically demanding for some divers but gives access to some of the best dive sites in the world.

Requirements: Advanced Open Water qualification and at least 50 logged dives.

Because of these conditions, Galápagos diving is not suitable for beginners or anyone who may struggle in more demanding environments. For experienced divers, however, it is an unforgettable trip, especially for the chance to see sharks and large pelagic fish.
