Diving tours Scuba Iguana - Galápagos
An unforgettable experience: on Galapagos diving. In collaboration with the German-Ecuadorian diving instructor Mathias Espinosa, we offer you this unique experience in one of the most beautiful diving areas in the world, the Galápagos Islands.
The enormous number of large fish makes the Galápagos Archipelago a diving paradise: there are sharks - from the endemic Galápagos shark to the hammerhead shark to the 15 m long whale shark -, manta rays up to 3 m in diameter, sea lions, aquatic iguanas, morays and countless colorful saltwater fish.
Due to the abundance of food in this region, the sharks pose no threat to humans.
Diving experience including equipment from € 199, - pp
Mathias Espinosa worked for the renowned diving yachts of the Aggressor fleet for 6 years and has now specialized in well-organized day trips. With his boat, which is designed for a maximum of 10 divers, he can reach the diving destinations with the 170 HP motor in a minimum of time, so that a lot of time remains at the dive site.
After arriving at one of the more than 40 dive sites, a detailed briefing takes place. Afterwards you will experience the fantastic underwater world of the Galápagos Islands in small groups with your diving guide. The guides, with over 5000 dives, speak German, English and Spanish.
The selection of the respective dive site is definitely made on site and takes place in consultation with you, the other participants and taking into account the weather and diving conditions. The planned dive sites can therefore change at any time.
