Is snorkeling equipment provided?
Masks, fins and snorkels in average sizes are available on most of the ships and yachts. If you have an unusual size foot or need special gear, bring your own. CAN I SCUBA DIVE? Certain ships offer “occasional diving” where local outfitters pick you up and take you to dive sights for the day. You miss the naturalist shore visits. Thre are permits and releases to complete and sign, so you need to make advance arrangements. Not all ships and yachts provide this service. If the focus of your visit to the Galapagos is diving, then you need to book one of the dedicated dive ships. Galapagos is recommended for advanced divers only due to currents, cold water, thermoclines and large marine life. Best diving months are November to June when water temperatures are warmer and visibility the best. WHAT DAILY ACTIVITIES CAN I EXPECT? The day begins with breakfast followed by the morning ashore. Return to the ship for lunch and a siesta while the ship navigates to the next site. Mid-afternoon shore
