Location

You will need to fly from the mainland of Ecuador to San Cristobal, Galapagos (airport code SCY) on the morning of your departure.

Dive Overview

With 592 species of fish, 32 species of sharks, 4 species of turtles, 7 species of dolphins plus penguins, mola molas, orcas, mantas, and the sole marine iguana on the planet, only in Galapagos can you dive with such a sheer abundance of species and so many sharks. Darwin and Wolf have the largest biomass of sharks in the world, 17.5 tons of sharks per hectare (2.47 acres). Only in Galapagos can you dive with pregnant Whale sharks this big. Add massive schools of pre-historic-looking Hammerheads, the largest Galapagos sharks anywhere, and, sorry everywhere else, only Galapagos truly is the sharkiest place on the planet. And yes, the best dive sites in Galapagos are only accessible from a liveaboard.
