Galapagos Blue Evolution

Set on San Cristobal in the Galapagos, Galapagos Blue Evolution is a local PADI Resort agency with 15 years of experience running diving, snorkeling and hiking tours — pretty much everything the island has to offer. A team of four PADI Instructors guides divers in both English and Spanish.
