Moments like this remind us why we choose to live on a sailboat in the first place, to push ourselves into uncomfortable situations while sailing and adventure traveling, take on new challenges that teach is what we are made of. Diving Galapagos is no different! We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life. If you’re dreaming about sailing around the world, living aboard a catamaran, planning an ocean crossing, or transitioning to a simpler life of travel and adventure, we hope this episode resonates with you. 🔔 Subscribe to Sailing AWEN for real offshore sailing, catamaran life, ocean passages, and the lessons we’re learning along the way: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@SailingAWEN 🌊 ABOUT SAILING AWEN We’re Holly and Stéphane — former Silicon Valley software professionals who left traditional careers behind to sail full-time.

The best thing about diving into a deep shipwreck is you never know what amazing marine animals you might encounter. Suddenly you turn a corner of the shipwreck and you are face to face with a giant sea turtle. As a diver, a proper (friendly) stare down with our friend the giant Green Turtle is an amazing experience every time. I met this giant turtle on the Vandenberg shipwreck just outside of Key West, Florida. You too can experience diving with sea turtles in many places throughout the world, but numbers are decreasing. In fact 6 of the 7 sea turtle species are classified as threatened or endangered. There are many easy things you can do to help our sea turtle friends in surviving such as not using reusable plastics and not supporting the production/use of balloons which our friend mistakes for food when they end up in the oceans. If you'd like to meet a sea turtle and learn more about how you can help, join us for a dive. 👉🏽 Visit CruiseNautic.com to learn more about our dive experiences.
