Galapagos diving - Scuba diving in the Galapagos islands
"Being voted one of the top diving spots year after year isn't a surprise. There are few to no places left in the world where an entire archipalego is virtually free of commercial fishing, leaving the waters left to those who want to swim and and watch the action unfold in the deep, clean waters of the Pacific."

Snorkeling in the Galapagos
"Memorable snorkeling in the Galápagos is easy: if you’re near any island, chances are you can strap on a mask, jump into the water and you’ll see something amazing. The water is generally quite nice, although often cooler than you might expect. If you have an underwater camera, be sure to bring it."
