The Galaxy Diver II accommodates up to 16 guests on diving adventures in the Galapagos Islands. Air-conditioned cabins feature private bathrooms with hot showers, toiletries, and towels, providing a comfortable retreat after a day underwater. The small guest capacity creates a relaxed atmosphere for sharing the experience with fellow divers.
Between dives, guests can unwind in the onboard social areas or enjoy ocean views and the sea breeze from the outdoor decks.

Two bilingual dive guides lead the underwater exploration, and complimentary Nitrox is available for certified divers.
The 8-day, 7-night diving itinerary explores renowned sites around Wolf and Darwin Islands, including Shark Bay, El Arenal, and Darwin’s Pillars. Other highlights include Punta Carrion, Cousin Rock, Cape Douglas, and Vicente Roca Point, subject to conditions. Divers have opportunities to encounter hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, rays, and seasonal whale sharks, while a visit to Santa Cruz’s highlands adds a glimpse of the islands’ terrestrial wildlife.

Amazing experience
We had a great time with Galaxy Diver II! We were truly amazed by everything. They think of all the small things. Like giving us a warm towel after a dive. And having everyone, including the boat captain, help when getting ready to go go for a dive.

by far the best dive ship
It was an incredible experience for me to dive in this beautiful paradise. The crew did everything possible to give us an unforgettable week. On 3 days we had 4 dives each, which was a bit stressful. But from experience, the guides wanted to get the maximum out of it for us divers, which I really appreciate!

With top-notch facilities, professional dive guides, delicious meals and meticulous service from the crew, it's definitely worth choosing again!
I had prepared a long time in advance for this Galapagos liveaboard trip, and the Galaxy Diver2 completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment they boarded, every crew member – including the captain, dive guide, chef and even the logistics staff – showed meticulous service and made the entire journey feel warm. Every day is full of surprises, and every dive is unforgettable. The facilities on board are top-notch, and the clean and comfortable environment is reassuring, especially the purification of the toiletry water is in place (which is rare in this archipelago!). ）。 The diving team is not only skilled, but also vividly explains the unique geography and ecology of the Galapagos, making every time you go into the water, it feels like exploring a nature documentary. Even more surprising is the onboard food and 24-hour coffee service (their two professional coffee machines are definitely a commendation!). ）。 What touched me the most was the intention of the whole team - whether it was the captain's careful adjustment of the route to avoid wind and waves, or the hot towels handed over by the crew at any time, the details showed professionalism and care. It was definitely a perfect diving experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back to Galaxy Diver2 next time!

The Best of the Galápagos on the Galaxy Diver II!
Recently renovated and easily the most beautiful liveaboard in the Galápagos, the Galaxy Diver II offers spacious, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a great camera setup. In the morning or after our dives, the cozy living room is perfect for watching TV or chatting, alongside a highly inviting coffee station. We felt privileged to dive Darwin and Wolf; despite warmer El Niño waters, we still experienced the absolute best of the Galápagos underwater. Our fantastic guides, Carlos and George, work seamlessly together, and the entire crew was incredibly warm—with the post-dive warm towels and snacks being a major highlight!

Luxury boat, all the main sites & excellent crew
Amazing boat - absolute luxury in all ways (which you’d expect for the price!!). Boat crew - food and inside crew, boat boys, organisation & hospitality is all exceptional. Cabins are spacious and clean. The attention to detail with small touches, menu, food and service is brilliant. In some ways, the diving etc seems to be second priority. However, you go to all the main sites, get lots of dives at the key places, daily briefs, excellent systems with timings, gear, getting to dive sites etc. 8 divers to each guide. 18 dives in total. 6 dives each (roughly) at both Wolf and Darwin. Experienced guides - but they do expect you to be very competent and confident in conditions and during dives. They absolutely do all they can to try and find everything - although they can’t obviously control the water temps and conditions! We were really lucky and saw all the big stuff and had some utterly incredible dives, despite it being an El Niño year. There is so much food - weirdly, I actually found it was often far too much for me (I struggled to eat a 5 course lunch then dive in the afternoon!). There is always a choice for meals and they are mostly served to you in a pre-set portion size so when it was too much, I felt awful but had to turn away some courses or not eat everything off every plate! The captain was brilliant and was often also down on dive deck helping at gear up / after dives! Be aware that in some seasons / conditions, the sea can be rough and the boat isn’t the best shape or design for crossing rough seas - its rocks a lot and some nights were bumpy. Be prepared with sea sickness meds if you might need it. Furniture in the cabins isn’t all secured to the floor so if it’s really rough, beds / bedside tables can even slide across the rooms, which wasn’t ideal! The briefs and information were always interesting too. The extra opportunities, like getting to watch from the bridge when we crossed the equator, short rib ride to see some of the wildlife along sea cliffs and coast and also the land trip on the final day to see the giant tortoises! NB: you do the final dive off the trip early morning of the last full day - done and out the water by 8.30am. You disembark at 8am the next day so you are fine to book flights to leave the day of disembarkation. You’re at the airport by 9am latest so aim for 11am ish flights. Staying on Santa Cruz Island is a bit of a trip (bus, ferry & taxi) to closest town / hotel! I’d recommend if you’re going to do that, stay at least 2 nights as it’s a bit of a trip - but well worth the visit if you do!
