Our Galapagos dive vessel

Exclusive ABYSS charter

"Diving in the Galápagos is a once in a lifetime opportunity". ABYSS, therefore, chose two of the most beautiful dive boats in the archipelago: the Galapagos Sky and the Galápagos Aggressor II.

You will understand our choice by the comfort and service aboard. In addition, the Galapagos Sky and the Galápagos Aggressor belong to the few boats holding a license permitting divers to visit Darwin and Wolf Islands in the North of the archipelago. For our chosen dates the boats are chartered exclusively for ABYSS clients.
