The Enchanted Isles....

Our group looks for birds and penguins at the base of the iconic Pinnacle Rock.
Join me for an amazing trip to the enchanted Galapagos Islands, aboard the finest live-aboard dive boat in the area, the Galapagos Sky.
The Galapagos Sky captains and crew have diving in Galapagos figured out. This is an ideal itinerary, with lots of time at Darwin and Wolf Islands, but also with stops to see things like the marine iguanas, penguins, and mola mola, as well as some shore excursions.

This will be my 3rd trip to Galapagos, and I am so excited to be going back. I don't think there is a more exciting place to dive in the entire world.
Each day we'll have an opportunity to look at your images and talk about technique and ideas for the next day. I can spend as much time or as little with you; I want to help you get the most of your trip, including capturing the best possible photos or video.

Mrs. Whaleshark. She's about as big as a school bus.
From whalesharks to hammerheads, sea lions to penguins, mantas to mola molas, the big animal opportunities are endless. The scenery in Galapagos is spectacular in it's own right. I could write about this for days, but you've heard about this magical place, so let's get into some details about the trip.

Travel to the islands is very easy. You'll fly into Quito or Guayaquil, Ecuador, and overnight there. We'll book your short flight from there to Galapagos, and we'll have our own concierge meet us at the airport to make the hop to Galapagos easy. If you want to stay on in Galapagos for a land based week, no problem, we can help arrange that for you.
