About Us
We have been in operation since 2006, and have grown from a small 2 person operation with a small fibreglass panga to the dive and tour operator we are today, employing over 10 staff and diving from our purpose built, 12 passenger dive boat. The owner Hugo, has been a guide all over the archipelago since 1999, developing an in depth knowledge of all dive sites and tourist destinations. All of our guides speak both Spanish and English, and are extremely knowledgeable about the areas they guide.
Galapagos is our home, and we recognise and feel extremely lucky to live here and be a part of this amazing geological and biological Eden. Therefore we are dedicated to the conservation of our home, and the enchanted islands you wish to visit, and those that need to remain for future generations to come. Through our diving trips and island tours we hope to educate you, our customers about the Galapagos flora and fauna and help you to understand what makes it such a special place.
