The Galapagos
The Galapagos Islands are a small spot in the Pacific, off the coast of Ecuador, where Charles Darwin philosophised and wrote the Origin of Species. Your adventure here promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience of unparalleled beauty and mystique.
The Liveaboard
Dive the Galapagos from the Galapagos Aggressor III, a stable, 30-metre-long steel monohulled vessel that cruises at an average speed of 10 knots. She will take you safely and comfortably around the Galapagos Islands’ best dive sites.
Purpose-built for dive adventures, the vessel provides an ideal platform for the scuba adventure of a lifetime.
Accommodation
The Galapagos Aggressor III caters for up to 16 divers in four deluxe staterooms and six master staterooms. The cabins offer a selection of arrangements with both twin bed set up and a queen bed set up available.
Each room has an ensuite bathroom, individually controlled air conditioning, and a television. Rooms are spacious, and with nine crew serving up to 16 divers, you are guaranteed to be well taken care of.
The Diving
The diving here is second to none. How you go about it is important. With two large, comfortable dive tenders, you will be placed in the correct spot to make the most of your dives, and be picked up safely afterwards.
The dive deck has plenty of space to store your gear and take care of your underwater photography equipment properly.
