North Plaza Island is currently closed to visitors. On the other hand, it is possible to dive there from the north and south-eastern part of the island. This is an easy dive, with generally little current. A gentle slope of rocks descends to a maximum depth of about 80 feet (24 m) to a sandy bottom where it is possible to observe white-tipped sharks and Galapagos garden eels. It is on the southeast side, during the warmer season from January to May, where it is most likely to see various pelagic species including manta rays, hammerhead sharks, Galápagos sharks and the occasional whale shark. . This site is accessible by snorkeling or scuba diving and is rarely visited by day trips and is never visited by diving cruises.
