The volcanic islands of the Galapagos are a must see diving destination for anyone serious about diving with sharks, especially diving with hammerheads. A Galapagos liveaboard is in the top 5 wish list of most divers - this is THE scuba diving holiday that no one wants to skip. And with Galapagos Sky (formely known as Sky Dancer), you can make this dream into a thrilling reality. With a wealth of experience under their belts, the Galapagos Sky sails the seas around the islands and islets towards the the unmissable Wolf and Darwin where the pelagic encounters roll in thick and fast. Diving in the Galapagos is famed for it's utterly unique biodiversity so jump about Galapagos Sky and set sail for the jaw dropping dive sites that propelled this tiny corner of the world into the limelight.
At 30m in length and with only 16 guests, the Galapagos Sky has plenty of space for everyone, in either the double/twin Master cabin or twin deluxe cabins. The facilities on onboard are impressive with an attentive eye on the small details that make a trip stand out. Enjoy fresh towels each day and a warm drink at the end of your dive. Both the Master and deluxe cabins have en suite, air con and hair dryers. Dining is French style with an eye on the high quality of ingredients that cater for all dietary requirements. The main saloon is spacious with TV, DVD and audio. Photographers will love the full video and photo facilities, ready and waiting including on board computers set up for viewings at the end of the day.
The diving really speaks for itself. Galapagos Sky will find you not only the expected shark action but sea lions, penguins, turtles stingrays, whale sharks and manta - to name but a few. Then there are the schooling hammerheads that patrol the blue as well as come into the reefs for a clean. Galapagos sharks, white tips, and silkies are common. Dolphins hunt tuna which in turn feast on the smaller reef fish. Galapagos Sky also makes sure that you get to see some of the area's unique life land side with a stop at the Charles Darwin Research Stations. Fur seals sun themselves on the beaches, iguana gnaw seaweed from the rocks and all manner of sea birds dot the cliffs. With deep wall dives and good drifts, the Galapagos is best suited to advanced divers but with so much activity above and below the waves, every moment of your trip is one to remember.

It was a pleasure to experience Galapagos aboard the Galapagos Sky. The quality of service was superb and there was always a friendly atmosphere. We thank all the crew members who looked so thoroughly after us and made our trip so enjoyable. Dive guides were very knowledgeable and very friendly, and the diving was unforgettable! Whalesharks, mola mola, sea lions, and schooling Galapagos and hammerhead sharks were the highlight of our trip. We have also encountered Galapagos turtles, iguanas and penguins on land. Once again we thank all of the crew members of Galapagos Sky and we hope to be back in the near future! Michael & Nikita Poltavsky

Now that I am finally over my jetlag and getting back to normal I just wanted to drop you both a line to say a huge thank you for inviting me to join Galapagos Sky for the recent. Sensational liveaboard trip. It was exciting, adventurous, fun, educational and many more things. I would seriously rate it as among the best trips on the planet and happy to tell anyone who cares to listen exactly that. The crew were exceptional and the service first class. John McIntyre

Just wanted to say thanks for organising our trip. We had an amazing time and did some of our best dives ever - I have to say that diving with Sea Lions is quite special! The Cloud Forest was also amazing and we had a really nice couple of days there. Tom & Karen
