A member of our staff will welcome you at the main dock and whisk you to our Aventura Lodge for check in and equipment fitting.

Your day of Scuba Diving will let you experience the incredible variety of marine life that make the Galapagos one of the top dive destinations in the world. You will enjoy a 2 tank dive with Red Mangrove Dive Center, a Padi Resort. On the dives be on the lookout for eagle or manta rays, hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, a colorful array of tropical fish, and more.

PM

Enjoy lunch "a la carte" in our beautiful Red Mangrove Restaurant on the waterfront, well recognized by the quality and exquisite flavors of our menu.

After lunch you will have a guided tour of the National Park's Tortoise Breeding Center and the Charles Darwin Research Center. Founded in 1964, the Darwin Center is dedicated to the study and preservation of the natural wonder that is Galapagos. The station is supported by over 100 scientists and researchers from around the world, and has been instrumental in the conservation of the islands.

The Charles Darwin Research Station is also home to the world-famous Lonesome George. He was discovered in 1971 on Pinta island and is the very last of his kind. You will get to see lonesome George as well as a close-up view of other giant tortoises on your visit. After visiting the Research Center you will be delivered back to the main dock for your shuttle back to the cruise ship in the late afternoon.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Dive sites may changed based on what is on the itinerary due to weather conditions, currents, visibility, or the captains call due to the opportunity to see something out of the ordinary. There are many equally beautiful dive sites at each island and the captain will pick what is suitable for all on board.
All dives are 2 tank dives.
Red Mangrove Dive Center will provide all equipment as part of your package except dive computers which can be rented.
The number of dives can vary due to change of weather and/or conditions or the captains to ensure the safety of everyone on board. There are no refunds for missed dives.
The National Park of Ecuador is constantly changing the rules and regulations, the dive sites available today may not be available tomorrow so please keep in mind that your sites may change due to changes in rules and regulations that are out of our control.
As a certified diver it is your duty to make the final call if you are ok to dive or not. You must let your captain or DiveMaster know if there is a problem or if you do not wish to make the dive.
Please respect the environment, The Galapagos Islands are a treasure not only for Ecuador but for mankind. It is most important that you follow the rules of the National Park so we can preserve this treasure for future generations.
