The PADI Fun Dives pathway

Fun dives are guided recreational dives for already-certified divers, with no certification issued. PADI divers should bring their certification card and logbook, as operators match site choice to your training level and logged experience, especially for current-heavy sites.

Where you'll dive in Galapagos

Fun dives depart Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz for day-trip sites across the central islands: North Seymour and Mosquera for eagle rays and garden eels, Floreana and Santa Fe for relaxed reef diving, and Gordon Rocks for hammerhead schools. The cooler June-to-November upwelling delivers the strongest pelagic action.
