As usual, Island Dream has an exciting story to read about a Scuba Diving Vacation Galapagos Island

Ken Knezick writes aobut his adventure aboard Peter Hughes’ new Motor Yacht (M/Y) Sky Dancer live-aboard dive boat. First of all, he describes the islands and the boat, then he warns that diving around the Galapagos Islands is not for beginners. And, he emphasizes that the water is quite cold by Caribbean standards.

Then he goes into much detail about the diving and the immense pelagic animals to be seen, including Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, hammerhead sharks, mobula rays, eagle rays, and the awesome experience of swimming with immense whale sharks.

Read this story about a Scuba Diving Vacation Galapagos Island

by Mark from Seattle.

My cousin and I just returned from our annual dive vacation. This year we chose the Caribbean island of Curacao and we stayed at Habitat Curacao. It was a series of 3 flights just to get there from Seattle, which just sucks. Upon arriving the first thing I notice are the warm, humid temperatures. Paradise at least for 9 days I’m thinking.

After taking a ½ hour taxi ride we get to Habitat and get settled in. Then we make it down to the dive shop(Easy Divers) and introduce ourselves to Anne Marie, who is the dive shop manager. She gives us the tour of the place and shows us where we store our stuff, where/how to get our Nitrox fills, where the boat docks, and where to start the shore dives if we choose to do them.

Then she gives us the final test we have to take for Nitrox, and after we both passed, all we had to do was two dives with Nitrox, and how to properly check our tanks for the proper Nitrox % and write it all down on the log sheet. All in all, it was pretty straightforward. The weather was warm and humid while we there. Temps were between 87 and 95 everyday. The day the temp hit 95 it was too hot, mixed in with the humidity and low winds.

Note: Thanks for all your help with the Nitrox info Skip!
