This Saturday, I’m going live to explain the difference between:

🌊 Day Diving
🚢 Dive Liveaboards (North vs West routes)
🐢 Snorkel & Land-Based Liveaboards

🎥 LIVE · Sunday · 11:00 am (Galápagos time)

Some keep you closer to the central islands — beautiful, vibrant, full of life.

And some combine land, snorkeling, and wildlife above the surface.

The question isn’t “Is Galápagos worth it?”
The question is:

👉 Which version of Galápagos is right for you?

You can experience the Galápagos in three completely different ways.

And they are not the same.

Some trips take you to the remote north — where hammerheads and Galápagos sharks move through open blue water.

we had more dolphin encounters than we could count
and massive schools of hammerheads moving through.

This is why people fall in love with Galápagos.
Not because it’s easy —
but because it’s alive. 🦈🌊

Galápagos is very hard not to love.

Even in the warm season,
the ocean is full.

And in the colder months?
It’s an explosion of life.

Hammerheads.
Galápagos sharks.
And dolphins — close, playful, unforgettable.

Because divers cared enough to look closer.

This is what conservation really looks like.
Not watching from the sidelines —
but being part of the story. 🦈🌊

That data becomes knowledge scientists could never collect alone.

Last year alone:
• 106 whale shark encounters
• 72 whale sharks never documented before
• A database now holding 800+ identified individuals

Not because of satellites.
Not because of labs.

Most people think diving ends when you surface.
In Galápagos, it doesn’t.

Every single week.
Every single day.
Divers enter the water at Darwin Island.

And without even realizing it —
they’re changing science.

Photos.
Videos.
Simple observations.

When shark diving meets real science.

After 15 unforgettable days in Galápagos, Tommy (Germany) summed it up: “I’ve seen all the wonders of Galápagos.”

More than diving — this is exploration with purpose.

Octopuses punch fish.
On purpose.

Scientists observed octopuses
striking fish during cooperative hunts.
Not to eat them.
But to control behavior.

Intelligence doesn’t always look gentle.
Sometimes it looks strategic.

What feels intimidating becomes empowering.

This is the magic of experienced dive guides —
turning adrenaline into confidence,
and first moments into memories you’ll never forget. 🦈💙

Sometimes we gather on the surface — easing into it, especially in the first days.
Sometimes, up north, we descend together immediately, calm and focused, with a controlled negative entry.

What feels unfamiliar at first becomes smooth.

Your first Zodiac dive feels intimidating… until it isn’t. 🌊

Tank on your back.
Gear checked.
Shoulder to shoulder on the edge of the Zodiac.

The ocean is right there.
Your heart beats a little faster.

Then the countdown starts.
3… 2… 1… roll back.

When you’re ready, Galápagos isn’t intimidating.
It’s extraordinary.

💬 Be honest — does Galápagos feel exciting… or intimidating to you?
.

#Galapagos #GalapagosIslands #GalapagosSharkDiving #DiveGalapagos

Because even in strong current, the dive isn’t chaos —
it’s simple.

You descend.
You find a rock.
You hold on.

And then… it’s cinema.
Sharks streaming past.
Up close.
Unforgettable.

That’s why experience matters — not for bragging rights, but for enjoyment.

“Is Galápagos too hard for me?”
It’s the question we hear all the time. 🌊

And the answer might surprise you.

It’s not about being an elite diver.
It’s about being comfortable, listening to instructions, and staying flexible underwater.

🦈 What you can realistically expect — without marketing fluff

🎥 LIVE · Sunday · 11:00 am (Galápagos time)
Come dive the islands with me — from the inside out. 🦈💙

🌊 Which dive spots deliver what (Wolf, Darwin, Isabela, Fernandina, central sites)
🧭 Which liveaboards spend time where — and what that means for wildlife encounters
❄️ Temperatures & currents (why some dives feel tropical… and others feel polar)

That’s why “Galápagos diving” can mean completely different things — depending on where you dive, which route your liveaboard runs, and how much time you actually spend in each area.

This Sunday, I’m going live to break it down clearly and honestly:
