Night Dive Adventure in Academy Bay

At Enchanted Islands Tour Operator, we believe in empowering divers to make a positive impact while exploring the underwater world. Every dive is a chance to contribute to vital marine conservation efforts in the Galapagos Islands, one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth. Seymour channel is one of the most popular dive sites due to its good activity and proximity to Santa Cruz Island. From Itabaca Channel (North of Santa Cruz) it is a short 25 minute boat ride to the dive site. Various sharks, rays and reef fish can be expected. The hammerhead sharks also like to come by. A special highlight are the garden eels, hundreds of which peek out of the sandy bottom. Seymour channel usually has moderate, sometimes surprisingly strong currents. The dive site is suitable for all levels of experience. You descend close to the island down to the sandy bottom at about 20-25 meters. Garden eels inhabit the sandy ground, schools of eagle rays float past you, and occasionally golden rays, too.

We’re delighted to have you on board for this journey of discovery to some of the most beautiful islands in the Galapagos. This itinerary will take us to the true origins of the archipelago, to a world only recently created by the titanic tectonic upheavals of our Earth’s crust, whose volcanic hot spot formed the islands in a blink of an eye in geological time. Fernandina Island is regarded as one of the most pristine island environments anywhere in the world, where life has evolved in its natural state, far from the intervention of man. On Santa Cruz, we visit the Charles Darwin Research Station and get up close to giant tortoises in their natural environment. In the south, we learn about the Galapagos very own “murder mystery”, spot flamingos and snorkel at one of the best sites in the archipelago: Champion Islet. Back in the Central Islands, we head back to Baltra Island for the flight back to the mainland.
