The diving
The PADI Advanced Diver Course is a great step in the world of diving. Your skills will be sharpened and your comfort level in the water will be even greater than before. Together with your instructor you will choose 5 special dives to make out your course + 1 fundive extra, just for... fun! Look forward to your deep dive on the great walls, and to the great challenge of the navigation dive where you will higher your level of awareness on the reef.

You'll be doing your course at one of the 7 Underwater Wonders of our world, with the marine iguanas, the sea lions, the galapagos sharks, the mobula, eagle and manta rays, seahorses and (not to forget) the beautiful hammerhead sharks! 
But the Galapagos are not like your average tropical island. The water can get down to 18 degrees in the winter time (September, October, November), and the currents can be playful at some of the bigger sites. This all makes for a GREAT learning experience.

Rest assured that will be trained by the absolutely BEST dive center in the area, and that your course will be as fun as it will be eye opening!
One tip of advise… remember to look up and around. Galapagos are home to incredible marine life, and by looking above and to the sides, you should be guaranteed some of those amazing encounters all divers are dreaming about!

Location
Okay, we will not go nuts on describing the Galapagos, there are so many islands and so much to do… Go GOOGLE it, if you haven’t already! In particular, WE like the island of Santa Cruz. It has a great beach, a lovely atmosphere and it is the perfect island to chill on, during the days you are diving. 
We have to give the island one extra point, for our passionate dive center. They will bend their back to send you out on the best possible adventures... and not just for diving. They have so much knowledge of the area and the surrounding islands, that they will become your go-to place, when you need advise on what and where. If you bring family or friends that are not diving, let them swing bye the dive center for their advise on extra special trips.
