Dive Worldwide offers unique Galapagos options for 2010/11

While many tour operators are experiencing late bookings from those looking for bargains, places for Dive Worldwide’s unique trips to the Galapagos aboard the Sky Dancer boat in 2010 and 2011 are being snapped up; the vessel is one of few liveaboard boats that has a licence to visit the dive sites of Darwin and Wolf; the Holy Grail of SCUBA and considered the best dive sites on earth.

Timing is everything and the two departure dates for 2010 (5 June and 20 November) have been carefully designed to coincide with the shark whaling season; other large species divers can expect to meet are Sea Lions, Hammerhead Sharks (in their hundreds!), turtles, stingrays and Mantras.

The newly built Sky Dancer (max. 16 guests) features all the amenities the serious diver could wish for including Nitrox fills, en suite cabins and spacious lounges for relaxing after a hard day’s exploring underwater. Dining is a daily highlight with fine food and wine to enjoy with new found friends.

The dive deck features a water fountain, mask defogging station, two showers, and a supply of fresh towels. For photographers there are special tanks for rinsing cameras and a photo-table complete with photo supplies. There will also be a photo pro on hand for assistance and camera equipment for hire.

Out of the water, the itinerary allows plenty of time for exploring the remote, beautiful Galapagos where animal encounters are likely to include Sea Lions playing in the sand, Marine Iguanas, Giant Turtles, penguins diving from rocks and booby birds performing mating dances. Two hundred years on, it is easy to see why Charles Darwin was so captivated by the islands.

The holiday departs on 5 June and 20 November 2010 and cost from £4389 pp. This includes international and domestic flights, transfers, 7 nights on boat (full board), 2 nights in Quito hotel, marine park fees, up to 4 dives a day (including equipment) and professional guides.
