It is no wonder that Galapagos remains one of the most captivating dive destinations in the world. The sheer abundance of marine life is astonishing – schools of eagle and golden rays numbering up to a hundred individuals, thousands of dolphins and schooling hammerheads. Commonly seen on the dives are sea lions, turtles, Galapagos sharks and whitetip sharks. Whale sharks, although rare, are often sighted in these waters. Combined with fantastic diving, Galapagos Islands also offer fascinating hikes and great snorkeling with penguins and sea lion pups. Dedicated dive departures include the remote Wolf and Darwin Islands.

Deep Blue is one of the newest yachts in Galapagos. The roomy and comfortable vessel has nine double cabins with private bathrooms and air-conditioning. The beautifully furnished cabins are spacious and have plenty of storage space. Common areas include a salon with panoramic views over the sea, a dining area and a sundeck.

Meals are furnished by Deep Blue's own organic farm which grows fruits, vegetables and livestock. Fresh fish and seafood is sustainable and purchased locally. The dive deck is large and well-functioning and there are two zodiacs. For underwater photographers there are two camera tables, a large rinse tank and two showers with hot water. You are treated to hot drinks, warm towels and snacks after each dive.
