Join us aboard the M/Y GALAXY DIVER II for an unforgettable 7-night Galápagos liveaboard adventure from July 19–26, 2028!
The Galápagos Islands are one of the world's most iconic dive destinations, renowned for their extraordinary biodiversity and thrilling underwater encounters. Located at the meeting point of several nutrient-rich ocean currents, the archipelago supports one of the richest marine ecosystems on Earth. July marks the beginning of the cool season, when colder, plankton-rich waters attract an abundance of marine life. It’s the beginning of the Hammerhead season. Expect water temperatures of 20–24°C (68–75°F), visibility of 10–25 meters (30–80 feet), and exhilarating drift dives with strong currents, making this destination ideal for experienced divers.
What can you see under the water
Beneath the surface, the Galápagos delivers unforgettable encounters with some of the ocean's most sought-after pelagic species. Massive schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks are the highlight, joined by Galápagos sharks, silky sharks, eagle rays, mobula rays, and the first whale sharks of the season. You'll also encounter green sea turtles, playful sea lions, marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins, large schools of barracuda, bigeye jacks, and yellowfin tuna, along with vibrant reef fish and thriving volcanic reefs that make every dive unique.

Tiani Dun will be our photography trip leader, you'll receive personalized guidance and expert advice from her to capture stunning images throughout the trip.
She will conduct a full photography workshop and photo review sessions with each participant, ensuring individualized attention for photographers of all levels.
Tiani is an underwater photographer from Australia. She studied a Master of Marine Biology (MS) at James Cook University and has brought her passion for science and the arts together into the work she does today.
Filming and photographing marine life began as a passion when Tiani started studying, but she very soon realised that she preferred to be behind the camera and under the water than she did in the office. So she traded her work shoes for fins, and never looked back! As a PADI scuba instructor, Tiani's work has taken her to the tropical islands of Malaysia, Fiji, Thailand, and all over Australia. When on land, she writes for Ocean Conservation initiatives, mentors students and gives marine biology lectures at schools and universities in Southeast Queensland.
Tiani's favorite style of photography is macro, and she has an incredible ability to steer almost any conversation toward her favorite animals – nudibranchs. On her safety stop, you will find her practising her bubble rings and taking selfies with everyone. Tiani loves nothing more than sharing her love for the ocean and its creatures with others. Her passion for underwater photography is evident, and her experience in marine conservation brings a chance to learn and discover more on our trips!
