Every year Academy Bay Diving participates in the International Clean up day. In Galapagos it is co-ordinated by the National Park to get as many boats, divers and walkers included as they can.
Established in 1959, the Galapagos National Park is the oldest National Park in Ecuador. About 97% of the entire area of the Galapagos Islands are part of the National Park system and remain uninhabited.
The Galapagos Marine Reserve is one of the largest and most biologically diverse marine protected areas (MPAs) in the world. The MPA covers 133,000 square kilometers (51,352 square miles), surrounding the Galapagos Islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) off Ecuador’s coast.
Everyone comes to Galapagos and would like to see the schools of hammerheads at the world famous site of Gordon Rocks. Unfortunately, due to the possible strong currents and depth of the dive, not everyone can go.
