Aggressor III Galapagos Diving Yacht

Galapagos is one of the most exciting destinations in the world. Guests will have the opportunity to dive with playful Sea Lions, and travel to the famous Darwin and Wolf for thrilling diving to see Hammerhead Sharks, Whale Sharks, clouds of Tuna, and much more on their Galapagos Islands liveaboard scuba diving trip. The scenic view of the Darwin Arch is as picturesque as you can imagine. The GALAPAGOS AGGRESSOR liveaboard departs from Baltra every Thursday afternoon.

In 2016, Ecuador created a marine sanctuary in the area of Darwin and Wolf that includes 15,000 square miles as off-limits to all fishing to conserve the sharks that congregate there and the ecosystem on which they rely.

32% of the waters around the Galapagos islands will now be protected from fishing.

Our goal is to provide you with the ultimate Galapagos Islands liveaboard scuba diving experience. The GALAPAGOS AGGRESSOR offers a brand new itinerary in compliance with the Galapagos National Park regulations which require companies with permits to follow the exact itinerary below. A maximum of four dives will be offered daily; two in the morning and two in the afternoon. In addition, two-night dives and two land excursions per week will be offered.

The new diving areas added to the itinerary are Bartolome Punta, Cousins Rock, and Cabo Douglas. The Galapagos National Park grants approval for normal itineraries and accepts requests for special itineraries.
