When to go
Generally, the high season for diving in the Galapagos is from June to November, which is the "dry season" or "cool season." During this time, the water temperature is cooler, ranging from 18°C to 24°C (64°F to 75°F). The Humboldt Current brings nutrient-rich waters, attracting a wide variety of marine life, including sharks, whales, and schools of fish. This is also an ideal time for encounters with hammerhead sharks and other pelagic species.
On the other hand, the low season for diving is from December to May, known as the "warm season" or "wet season." During these months, the water temperature rises to around 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). Although visibility may be reduced due to plankton blooms, this season offers excellent opportunities to encounter marine iguanas, sea lions, and playful sea turtles. You might also witness the courtship displays of various species during this time.

7 days in a Diver’s Paradise
This was our 5th liveaboard and it definitely took first place! Everything from the boat, the rooms, the crew, the food, the guides was 5 stars. And what to say about the marine and land life in the Galapagos. It was a dream come true. A big thank you to the Galaxy Diver 2 crew for making this trip so special for us all.

Great experience
This cruise wasn't cheap, but it was worth the money. One of the best boats I've ever been on. It was hard for me to imagine the conditions on small boats with waves that were - the ocean there isn't calm. Great food, super competent crew, great dive sites, hot towels after diving... You get the feeling that the guides want to make your dreams come true and try to find the fish you want to see...The only thing that is excessive for me is the suggestion of tipping 10 percent of the cruise price. It is not mandatory, but the crew should earn adequately for the price of the cruise.
