Around 600 miles from Ecuador, the volcanic islands of the Galapagos are a must for any diver serious about pelagic encounters. And when you are visiting one of the most famous dive regions in the world it seems only sensible to do so on one of the most respected liveaboards. The Peter Hughes fleet work worldwide in some of the most exclusive destinations and the Sky Dancer is no exception to this. With a wealth of experience under their belts, the Sky Dancer sails the seas around the Galapagos including the unmissable Wolf and Darwin, getting you to those 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 Sky Dancer has plenty of space for everyone. Every cabin has en suite, air con and hair dryers. The facilities on onboard are impressive. The signature Peter hughes services onboard include coffee in room each morning, warm towels after each dive and a night turn down in the cabins before you drift off after a stunning day's diving. 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. Camera hire is also possible but must be pre booked and on board computers are set up for viewing's at the end of the day.

The diving really speaks for itself. The Sky Dancer's favourites are 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. The Sky dancer also makes sure that you get to see some of the area's unique life land side. 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 beneath the waves and above, every moment of your trip is one to remember.
