Scuba Diving
Galapagos Island Dive Adventure
Dive Outdoors is very excited to bring you the experience of a lifetime: an epic diving and sightseeing expedition around the stunning Galapagos Islands! On this trip you will be following in the footsteps of National Geographic, the Discovery Channel, David Attenborough, the BBC, the Smithsonian Institution, the Planet Earth film team, and scientists and filmmakers from all around the world. This Galapagos Islands trip is a dream bucket list trip, at the top of all lists! And to help put this trip even further into the stratosphere of your experiences, we have also chosen one of the best liveaboards available as well as the best month to visit: March. During this month, the visibility underwater is terrific, and the weather topside is great. In addition, our itinerary covers the whole archipelago, not just the two islands that most tour companies visit. We will step on to land to see the ageless giant tortoises, the iguanas, the penguins, the flightless cormorants, the blue footed boobie birds and all the other unique creatures that make the Galapagos Islands world famous! Below the waves, we will marvel at Galapagos sea lions, marine iguanas, hammerhead shark schools, giant manta rays, sunfish, sea turtles, silky sharks, moray eels, and so much more! And for those that missed the “marine iguanas” reference in the previous sentence, we will be diving/snorkeling with the marine iguanas as they dive down to forage algae. How cool is that! There are only 14 slots available, so reserve your spot early!
