The more dive experience you have, the better.

Galapagos has some strong currents which can make some of the sites for advanced divers. Open Water certification is a minimum, but Advanced Open Water is recommended. It opens up more dive sites and lets you fully enjoy deeper experiences.

If you'd like to try diving for the first time or haven't dived for a while then we can help with a discovery or refresher dive so you can join us too and see the magic underwater too!

Welcoming a diving legend aboard!

It was an honour and a pleasure to have .SylviaEarle onboard with us last month. If you're not familiar with Silivia, prepared to be impressed!

She holds the record for deepest walk on the sea floor and is a world-renowned expert on marine biology. An oceanographer, explorer, author, lecturer and advocate for ocean conservation and education. She founded the non-profit organisation that inspires action to explore and protect the ocean based on Hope Spots, which are ecologically important areas of the ocean that, if protected, can regenerate the ocean back to health. As if that wasn't enough, Mission Blue's Chief scientist Dr Tessa Hempson, , came onboard with us. Two very inspirational women!
Check out the Netflix documentary movie "Mission Blue" if you want to learn more.

We could go on and on about her accomplishments and the amazing work of Mission Blue. They say to never meet your idols, well we're happy to tell you that meeting Dr Silvia Earle in person was not a dissapointment. The whole team had fun, and she even signed one of her books for us! Thanks for chosing Academy Bay Diving and making our day!

Here's the truth about diving in the Galapagos Islands.

You can't really get it wrong, diving in the Galapagos Islands is incredible all year-round with constant life and exciting sightings. You won't be dissapointed no matter when you visit!

That said, depending on your preferences there are some factors to consider when planning your Galapagos dive trip. If you want warmer waters, hotter weather and calmer seas, visit December-June. The other six months of the year is "Gurua" season with greyer skies, light rains (Gurua) and cooler, rougher seas.

Surface temperature usually stays at 18 – 25c (64 – 77f) all year round. In contrast, temperatures at depth can reach 13 Celsius (56 Fahrenheit) in thermoclines or in colder parts of the Galapagos archipelago. Thermoclines in the Galapagos usually occur between 12 – 18 meters (40 – 60 feet). Thermoclines also affect visibility
