Dive site
The Isabela and Fernandina dive sites are where cormorants, Galapagos penguins, marine iguanas and several other endemic species can be seen constantly. The main attraction of Cabo Douglas are the marine iguanas which feed underwater, but also the lip batfish reds, sea lions and horned sharks. Since the site is at the northwest end of Fernandina, it is very exposed to the current which flows directly onto the island. The swell can therefore be very strong there, depending on the strength of the current and the height of the tide. This means that this site is not always diveable, depending on the conditions. Fortunately, several nearby alternative sites may be offered, if necessary. Marine iguanas and sea lions are seen at shallow depths. Dives in Cabo Douglas rarely exceed 45-60 feet (12-18 m). This dive site is only visited by some diving cruises.
