Darwin Island

Darwin Island is a world-class scuba diving destination. The waters surrounding this piece of eroded volcano contain a plethora of marine animals. Divers will, of course, have the chance of seeing at least one of the species of sharks that inhabit these waters: hammerhead, Galapagos, silky, and whale sharks. The marine fauna also includes various other species of fish such as trumpetfish, trevallies, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, parrotfish. It is also common to see dolphins and sea lions here.

Gordon Rocks

Also called The Washing Machine, Gordon Rock is a popular dive site for advanced divers. The strong currents bring the plankton to the surface, attracting a number of large pelagics. Hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, white-tip sharks, giant sea turtles, mobula rays, eagle rays, stingrays, and the weird-looking ocean sunfish (Mola Mola) are quite a sight.

Isabela Island

Isabela is the largest island of the Galapagos archipelago. It comprises a number of tuff cone islands and isolated rocks that are great dive sites. The south of the island is a diverse marine ecosystem due to the presence of nutrient-rich waters.

The underwater seascape at Isabela island is extremely colorful, with a variety of soft corals, coral bushes, gorgonians, and blue and red sponges. Harlequin wrasses, stingrays, tuna, barracudas, King angelfish, yellowtail surgeonfish, grunts, manta rays, sea turtles, sea lions, and killer whales are common encounters here.

Daphne Island

The waters of Daphne Island contain WWII relics, walls, slopes, platforms, and caves that are a real treat for those with a thirst for exploration. Most dives are drift dives where white-tip sharks, schools of tuna, sea turtles, moray eels, and lots of reef fish can be observed.
