Diving Holidays with Hotel Silberstein

5 DAYS 4 NIGHTS , 6 DIVES

Galapagos Islands Scuba Diving Holidays and Tours

Hotel Silberstein is one of the first hotels on the Galapagos Islands with an own diving centre in cooperation with the well-known diving agency Extra Divers. We will show you a wonderful underwater world that you won't find anywhere else in the world.

Our beautiful wooden diving boat provides high standard and offers enough space for the equipment and pre-diving preparation of 12 persons. It is 9 meters long and 3 meters wide and offers a cabin and a bathroom at your disposal. It is driven by a 250 PS inboard engine. The boat is also equipped with emergency oxygen, a first aid box and GPS.

The full day tours start in the port of Puerto Ayora, 5 minutes drive from the diving station. At least 15 diving locations can be reached within 1-2 hours of sailing. To take you to the locations situated in the north of the island, we start from Itabaca Canal which you can reach after a 45 minute drive. Look forward to see sea lions, manta rays and sharks which will make you enjoy and never forget these wonderful diving tours.
