About Us
 
    Diving Galápagos is our trade – Safety our motto

    EXPERIENCE FOR GALÁPAGOS DIVING
Beginners: Newly certified divers or divers with few dives logged (3 to 15 dives).

Intermediate: 15 to 50 dives logged with experience in cold water and with drift and wall diving.

Advanced: 100 dives or more logged with experience in cold water and with drift and wall diving.

Detailed description of dive experience is always necessary to confirm a dive program, because a diver with 10 dives in cold water and currents may feel a lot more comfortable than a diver with 40 logged dives in warm water and little current - also a newly certified diver may feel more comfortable than a diver with 50 logged dives but who has not been diving for 6 years.

OUR DIVING:
Diving in Galápagos

We have great dive sites for beginners, intermediate and experienced divers, although the best dive sites are usually the most difficult ones, with significant to strong currents near vertical walls. Most of our diving is drift diving, so the divemasters skills play an important role. Beginners can start at the easier places and proceed to the more difficult ones always guided by our divemasters or instructors. In all our dives our divemasters will be actually diving in the water with the customers. Another important aspect of the Divemasters skills is that, although there is decompression chamber on the islands, the divemasters duty is to guarantee that, to a reasonable extent, everybody is on the safe side.


INSURANCE AND SAFETY
There is no insurance included in the programs and we highly recommend all divers to have their DAN (Divers Alert Network) insurance before going to the Galápagos (cost per year for Standard Insurance US$ 69 and for Master Insurance US$ 79 including the annual membership). For more information, we recommend you to go to Divers Alert Network website.
We also recommend to bring dive alert whistle and scuba tube.
