Buddy Dive Liveaboard

Smooth, stylish, spacious and comfortable, M.Y. Wolf Buddy and M.Y. Darwin Buddy, are much more than just two floating hotels.

Excellent craftsmanship resulted in two yachts that will ensure guests enjoy an unforgettable holiday and plenty of memorable dives. She takes 18 guests.

Between dives and at night, divers will have more than enough time to explore all the great services on board the Darwin Buddy and Wolf Buddy.

Whether you relax and read a book on the spacious sun deck, take a plunge in the whirlpool, watch your underwater pictures on the entertainment system in the lounge, or simply enjoy a cocktail at the bar, both yachts provide plenty of opportunities to make your time on board a delight.

People who know Buddy dive’s philosophy “Eat, Sleep, (Buddy) Dive” will find the same convenience during their Galapagos trip as well. The yachts reflect Buddy Dive’s vision and innovation when it comes to diving.

The dive deck consists out of two separate sections. One section can be closed on cooler days and will be heated after dives. With plenty of space setting up the diving gear is easy.

After returning from a dive, expect a warm towel, use one of four available showers on deck, and relax at the lounge and bar area, which is directly connected to the dive deck. The dive deck also includes two public toilets and four rinse tanks.

There’s nothing like rolling into the water off the panga into a school of dozens of hammerhead sharks. Divers regularly encounter schools of eagle rays “flying by” in close formation, as well as larger and more majestic manta rays. Virtually all the sites are blanketed with clouds of Creole fish and immense schools of jacks. Brightly colored schools of surgeon fish and snappers add a vibrant touch.

Look closer and you’ll find Moorish idols, hieroglyphic hawkfish, panamic fanged blennies and maybe even a red lipped batfish or a brilliant yellow sea horse anchored to an even more brilliant yellow strand of black coral. And sea lions are everywhere in the central region.

Divers with underwater camera equipment can use a custom-designed camera table and camera rinse tanks.
