Dive site
This islet, located just north of Baltra Island, is a volcanic islet completely covered with white sand. The seabed is sandy with a few rocky islets. In the sand, you can observe large Galápagos garden eels, rays and some species of sharks, which come along the sandy bottom, and sea turtles. Further north of the islet, the site has a wall which descends deeper and deeper as you move away from the islet towards the north. Along the wall, it is possible to see Galapagos sharks, eagle rays and with a little luck, schools of dolphins and hammerhead sharks. The depth of the site varies between 20-90 feet (6-30 m), but diving averages between 45-60 feet (15-18 m).
This island can be dived from a diving cruise or with a day trip from Santa Cruz, because the navigation from the Itabaca channel is not very long (around 45 minutes).
