Galapagos Master is a 32-metre steel yacht running year-round diving trips in the Galapagos Islands. Nine en-suite cabins on three decks take up to 16 guests, looked after by a crew of 12 that includes two dive guides. The vessel was built in 2004 and refitted in 2015. Her registered hull name is Deep Blue — that is the name you will see on the bow in port; she operates under the Galapagos Master brand.
Every trip starts and ends on San Cristobal. Itineraries inside the national park are fixed by the park authority, and the core of each one is a minimum of two full days at Wolf and Darwin — the dive sites divers come here for, with schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks and, in season, whale sharks. Up to four dives a day. Besides the hammerheads you can expect sea lions, marine iguanas, eagle rays, tuna and dolphins.
The dive deck is built for a full kit: personal storage boxes, rinse tanks, a warm water shower, a two-tier camera table, charging stations, DIN adaptors and nitrox. Two powerful tenders run divers to the sites and two dive masters accompany the group in the water.
The middle deck holds an air-conditioned saloon with cushioned seating and a dining area, with the bar next door. Meals are served buffet style by the onboard chefs. The sundeck above has loungers and a bar, and the middle deck has a shaded seating area. Upper deck cabins have panoramic windows, lower deck cabins have portholes; every cabin has its own air conditioning control, storage and en-suite bathroom with hot water.
Currents in the Galapagos are strong and the water is cool — drift diving experience and a 5–7 mm wetsuit are needed.

Schedule & Pricing
Master the Galapagos: San Cristobal — San Cristobal, 7 nights
The vessel's main itinerary, year round. Starts and ends on San Cristobal. The programme is set by the national park: north to Wolf and Darwin, where the boat spends at least two full days — these are the headline dive sites of the Galapagos, with schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks and whale sharks in season. Along the way: Cabo Douglas on Fernandina with marine iguanas, Punta Vicente Roca on Isabela with turtles and mola mola, Cousin's Rock with rays and sea lions. Currents are strong and water runs 18–26 °C, so drift diving experience is needed. Up to four dives a day plus land excursions with a naturalist.
