The Galapagos are a remote chain of volcanic islands that are some 600 miles west of Equador. Whilst small and far removed, these tiny islands catapulted into fame thanks to Darwin. So diverse and abundant is the ecology here that you really can see evolution in practice as you move from one island to the next. With no doubt, the only way to explore the Galapagos is from a liveaboard. And Scuba Travel works with the best and most luxurious, custom built dive boats to ensure you get to all the hot spots. Diving in the Galapagos is for advanced divers as conditions can be challenging but the rewards are unmeasureable. This really is the trip of a lifetime. Rich in all things natural, the underwater world is no less alluring. The entire region has a mighty reputation for the action packed and supreme diving that awaits beneath the seas. With warm water welling up from the deep and so much nutrient rich plankton swirling around, the marine life comes in thick and fast.

It is perhaps easier to list the things you won't see on a trip to the Galapagos as the roll call of regular visitors is impressively long. Gone are the crowds and hordes of other divers. Instead the islands are most famous for the hammerheads sharks that school in vast numbers and swirl around the deep water pinnacles. Huge throngs of white tips sharks cruise the reef alongside snapper, tuna and barracuda. Galapagos sharks are unique to this region, which is also one of the few places divers can get close to sea lion and fur seals all on same trip. Add to all of this the frequent manta, eagle rays, golden rays and turtles as well as whalesharks and dolphin - what more could you want. Well why not snorkel with penguins or marine iguana? There is clearly nowhere else on the planet that can compare with the Galapagos. Seeing really is believing... and the diving really is just that good.
