Galapagos - Prebook dives or not?

[SpyrosDives]

Hey All,

GF and myself are going to the Galapagos around Easter 25 March - 2 April. Given prices of liveaboards and time restrictions, we've decided to go land-based. We'll be staying on Santa Cruz, based on what I've read regarding dive site accessibility. We were hoping to get 3-4 days of diving in.

Given that we're close to Easter holidays, does it make sense to book in advance, or is availability generally OK?

Cheers,
Spyros

I'm interested in the answers, heading there in July for 11 nights and planning 2-3 outings. Normally I pre-book, or at least reach out to the shop to ask them about it. Have you picked a dive op yet?

It will probably be macarron, since they are doing triple dives. But open to other suggestions as well.

I'm looking at either Macarron or Eagle Ray as they're both within walking distance from where I'm staying. It's hard to do 3 dives for me (wife and kid). I'm interested in hearing your experience.

Personally I will probably book at least the first dive, but probably 2 before I go.
