Daily Dive Trips in the Galapagos Islands

Are you a certified diver ready to explore the underwater worlds of the Galapagos? Academy Bay Diving, located on Santa Cruz Island and just a 5-minute ferry ride from Baltra Island where most travelers arrive, offers convenient access to exceptional dive experiences. After a short journey from the airport to our dive shop, you can settle in and be ready to head out for an adventure on our boat early the next morning.

We conduct two-tank dives to maximize your experience at the top dive sites near Santa Cruz, ensuring the best service and a memorable bucket list adventure. Dive sites are 45 minutes to 2 hours away, and you’ll typically return to Puerto Ayora by late afternoon, enjoying a hot lunch on board between dives.

Highlight Dive Sites:

  • Gordon Rocks: Popular among advanced divers for the chance to see hammerheads, thanks to its swift currents.
  • North Seymour: Known for manta rays, sea turtles, and potential octopus sightings.
  • Floreana: Great for divers of all levels, known for its diverse marine life and friendly sea lions.
  • Daphne: Ideal for spotting manta rays on this wall dive, suitable for all skill levels.
