Discovery Dive Galapagos Tour, 1 Day Activities

Discovery Dive Galapagos Tour, 1 Day Detailed Program

Discover Galapagos' incredible undersea world. This one-day extension is a chance for those who have never scuba dived before to experience this wonderful sport. After receiving safety instructions, a certified dive master guide will safely lead you under the surface to view sea lions, sea turtles, rays, eels, corals, and hundreds of tropical fish. In case you fall in love with scuba diving (wish you surely will), you will receive a PADI certificate of international participation after the dive, which will count as credit if you choose to later become Open Water Dive certified.
