Galápagos diving is the real deal: nutrient-rich currents turn the islands into a pelagic magnet, so the water can be full of life and surprises. Sea lions and turtles are common, with the right sites/season bringing chances of hammerheads, mantas and even whale sharks. It’s rugged volcanic terrain and often current-driven — more “ocean diving” than pretty reef, which is exactly why it’s unforgettable.
