Dive with playful Sea Lions, schooling hammerheads and travel to the famous Darwin and Wolf Islands on our Galapagos Islands liveaboard scuba diving trip.
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. Join Argonaut Diving on this bucket list event!
