MV Skydancer Liveaboard
Our accommodation and dive platform for the trip will be the MV Skydancer, a superbly run Peter Hughes boat. Peter Hughes operates a range of liveaboards in several destinations worldwide. All liveaboards in the Peter Hughes fleet offer a combination of comfortable accommodation, well organised & safe diving as well as  fine food & beverages. Including local beers, wines and spirits. This attention to detail and the care the goes into providing great scuba diving has given Peter Hughes Liveaboards one of the best reputations in the diving community. All the Galapagos Island charters have been carefully designed to maximise the experience and understanding of these beautiful islands, both above and below the waterline. We will be accompanied below the surface and on land by expert guides in their fields....
 
Wildlife In The Galapagos
A sample of our itinerary for this holiday to the Galapagos would include 19 dives; 2 Night dives; 4 Land Visits and 1 Snorkelling Excursion, so it should be an action packed busy week. Within this schedule we would be heading through the inner islands , right up to the world renowned Wolf and Darwin Island, with approximatley 3 of the days diving around them. At this time of the year the sea state around the Galapagos Islands should be calm and the weather good. We expect all of the indigenous species around the islands to be plentiful and out sightings for the week should include: Reole Fish, Rainbow Chub, Bigeye Jacks, Moorish Idols, Hammerhead Sharks, Eels, Galapagos Sharks, Silks Sharks, Marbelled Rays, Dolphins, Seals and Sealions..... The conditions below surface and be a little demanding at times and with this in mind the minimum dive level for this trip is PADI Advanced/BSAC Sports Diver with 50 logged Dives.
