The mecca of everything big, this destination has time and time again been described by divers as “sensory overload”. No matter where you look, you are looking at something incredible, choosing where to look is the challenge...

Located 1,000km off Ecuador's Pacific Coast, this mysterious and fascinating archipelago is comprised of 13 large inlands, six smaller ones and over 40 islets. Together they cover 7,500 Sq, Km. Most are south of the Equator where several marine currents converge. Thus, all of the elements were in place to create this zoological, geological and botanical wonder.

Through the evolutionary process, climate, ocean currents and the comparative lack of predatory enemies including man, Galapagos became one of the strangest and most compelling places on our planet.
