Sky Dancer
Custom-designed for diving in 2000, this is a 30m motor yacht with capacity for 16 passengers.
Accommodation consists of eight comfortable staterooms located on two decks. Each cabin has two twin beds, window or port light view. Her interior features teak panelling and furnishings, a dining area, bar, and a main saloon.
On deck, ample space is allocated for personal dive gear storage, a photo and video film lab, light tables, daily E-6 processing, and open sun-deck. Zodiacs are used to ferry you between dive sites and the anchored yacht.
Most underwater forays are drift dives. The Sky Dancer offers up to four dives per day. There are six crew and two dive instructors or dive master/naturalist.
Diving in the Galápagos
Strong currents, surge and cold waters make diving in the Galápagos difficult: but the dramatic undersea theatre is one of the most spectacular in the world.
To be comfortable diving here you will need to have at least 30 open water dives in your log book. Galápagos waters are full of large marine life: whale sharks, hammerheads and rays.
On these cruises diving, compressed air tanks, weights, weight belts, and guiding are included. At the time of going to press, discussions were taking place over the future of occasional diving in the Galápagos. | Read more about: The Galápagos Islands
