Scuba Diving in the Galapagos Island

The Galapagos Islands are known for their biodiversity and unique endemic species. It is also an important breeding ground for sea turtles, marine iguanas, and seals. By diving here, you have the opportunity to see many amazing marine species such as manta rays, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, dolphins, and much more.

Among the best dive sites in the Galapagos, there is Gordon Rocks, located about an hour by boat from Santa Cruz Island. It is a popular dive site for hammerhead sharks and manta rays. You can also see schools of fish, barracudas, tunas, groupers, and whitetip sharks. This is a dive site for experienced divers as the currents can be strong.

Another popular dive site is Kicker Rock, also known as León Dormido in Spanish. It is a huge horseshoe-shaped rock located about an hour and a half by boat from San Cristobal Island. The dive site is famous for its eagle rays, schools of fish, whitetip and blacktip sharks, as well as hammerhead sharks. Divers can also explore underwater caves and tunnels.

Another must-visit dive site in the Galapagos is Wolf Island. It is an advanced dive site as the currents can be very strong, but it is also one of the best places to see whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, dolphins, and schools of fish.
