Rental Gear

It is highly recommended that divers bring their own gear. Advanced diving conditions that are common in Galapagos truly call for divers to be in their own, known and proper fitting gear. If a diver must rent gear, please understand that sizes, selection and quantities are extremely limited. Guests should note items to be rented and specific size(s) on the Application.

All Fees for rental gear are paid directly on Galapagos Sky on the last day of the cruise. USD, Cash, and Visa/MasterCard are accepted on board for payment.

*Not available for rent or purchase: Cameras, Gloves, Hoods, Thermal Vests, Torches/ Underwater Lights, Knives, Steel Tanks, or Pony Bottles. Download a PDF here.
