GALAPAGOS REGION Diving in Galapagos Island
Divers are encouraged to bring their own equipment to the Galapagos Islands. Your dive watch and other diving gadgets are key, as well as a valve adapter for DIN valves. Some equipment can be rented, but be sure to book ahead to get the right sizing. You will not need to bring weights and weight belts, unless you prefer a weight-integrated belt.
This is not allowed more than 30,000 people for diving in Galapagos each year Dive Skills: Diving the Galapagos is for advanced divers. It is recommended that you have an AOW or higher certification and 100 logged dives. Having said that, live boards will allow any certified diver aboard. It depends on your comfort level in the water. Some may be more skilled with 20 logged dives than others with 400 logged dives. Please note that final discretion about your ability to dive is up to the dive guides. It’s not a given that conditions will be extremely challenging, but it’s a definite possibility. Divers must be able to handle rapid descents, diving in 2-4 knot currents and down currents. All diving is done from an inflatable, which are called pangas. Think Zodiac RIB. All diving is no decompression diving. All drives are led by National Park Marine Reserve certified dive guides. Divers are responsible for themselves. You must be able to call a dive if you are uncomfortable for any reason. Exposure Protection: We recommend a 7mm wetsuit, hood and gloves (for protection, not warmth). Water temps are warmer at Darwin than other dive sites, however, dives at Darwin often involve as much as 25 minutes of stationary time which can cause you to feel cooler than when you are in motion. You descend through current, grab hold of rocks on the platform and watch the show as it passes by except when chasing whale sharks. The rocks you grab often have barnacles which will cut your hands if you’re not wearing gloves. So you do need gloves, but for protection, not warmth. We recommend 1.5-2mm gloves with kevlar or reinforced palms.
Dive Gear: Full equipment rental is also available; though back inflate BCDs are rare. Attached snorkels are not recommended due to the possibility of strong current causing mask leaks. If you prefer to use a snorkel, it is better to bring a collapsible one to put in your BCD pocket for use at the surface. Lanterns are optional.
Clothing: In spite of being on the equator, it is not as warm as most expect. We recommend light weight, long pants and long sleeve shirts. Shorts can be worn, but bear in mind, the one thing people always seem to say is that they wish they had brought some warmer clothing. Between June and Nov, do bring a fleece, jacket or sweatshirt to use after dives. Shorts/athletic pants and a light sweatshirt are perfect for the evenings. Sports sandals or sneakers are fine for your land visit. Crocs, neoprene shoes, flip flops or even slippers are appropriate onboard. We highly recommend soft sided luggage rather than hard cases. It’s much easier to handle and store. You need almost nothing while on the boat diving. Towels are provided aboard. If you are packing more than a medium-sized duffle bag (in addition to your dive gear), you have probably over-packed. Do bring a hat that will protect you against the sun. Do bring sunscreen. Please bring biodegradable toiletries if possible. Bring any prescription medications you might need as well as over the counter items like seasickness medication, Sudafed, pain relief, etc. Many over-the-counter meds are not available in Ecuador. Gasoline is always handy in the event you rent gear and end up with a rash from rub. Dive skins are also good to prevent this and as sun protection. If you have a dry bag, do bring it for land cameras, etc. It’s helpful to bring a few zip lock bags to protect small items you wish to have accessible as well as a small dry box for anything that may be damaged by water. Bring rechargeable batteries and the charging unit for your camera. If you have a small mesh bag, it can be quite handy for storing your odds and ends at your dive station. Be sure to bring your Certification Card, your Nitrox Certification card if you plan to dive Nitrox, your log book and a copy of your cruise application and waiver.
