Galapagos Shark Diving offers dive trips to the world’s most beautiful destinations in combination with support for marine conservation. The knowledge gained about sharks and the training teaches how every diver can support conservation of endangered marine wildlife – with no science background needed. Every year only a few shark conservation dive departures are offered in the best shark diving season and best months to dive in the islands of Galapagos and Cocos (July – October).

Every dive trip is accompanied by shark scientists from the Galapagos Whale Shark Project, which was featured in the BBC Blue Planet II series. For every diver the organization donates to the research of the Galapagos Whale Shark Project. This team is studying the unique population of adult whale sharks in the Galapagos. Each scientist will share their extensive knowledge about whale sharks and at the same time, will teach how you as a diver can support conservation of marine wildlife such as whale sharks, giant manta rays, sea turtles, other shark species, rays, molas, whales and other endangered animals – worldwide! You too can make a difference.
