The Galapagos Islands are located 600 miles west of Ecuador and offer some of the most spectacular wildlife found anywhere in the world. Nowhere else on this planet will you find penguins which live on the equator (The Galapagos Penguin) or iguanas which swim and feed in the ocean (The Marine Iguanas)!   Because these islands have only recently been invaded by man, the literally 1000s of animals that inhabit these islands have never learned to fear us.  This means that you can literally walk right up to hundreds of blue-footed boobie birds, red-footed boobie birds, masked boobie birds, albatrosses, penguins, land iguanas, marine iguanas, lava lizards, sea lions, fur seals, red-chested frigate birds, flamingos, finches,  tropic birds, lava gulls, giant tortoises, and flightless cormorants.

The marine life which inhabits the waters that surround the Galapagos Islands is just as fantastic as the wildlife found on shore making Galapagos one of the premier dive destination in the world.   The sheer abundance of life is amazing.  On most dives you will see several hundred large marine animals.  On any given dive it is not uncommon to see sea lions, turtles, hammerhead sharks,  white tip sharks, manta rays, Galapagos sharks, and huge schools of eagle and/or golden Rays, sometimes numbering between 50 -100 individuals. There is also the possibility of seeing  whales, whale sharks, thousands of dolphins and large schools of hammerheads, sometimes numbering in the hundreds.  Between dives you can snorkel with penguins or sea lions.
