About diving in Ecuador
Ecuador’s Galápagos diving is cold, rich, and big-animal focused—one of the few places where sharks, sea lions, and giants share the same current line.
Liveaboards dominate; experience with drift, depth, and temperature swings is expected. Above water, the islands are unique; underwater, every dive feels like a wildlife expedition rather than a reef stroll.
Built for advanced divers and photographers with Galápagos permits and licensed operators—not casual warm-water checkouts. Seasonality affects who you meet offshore.
Each listed destination links to the map with species checklists and logging.
