Galapagos Diving Day Tours

Gordon Rocks

Gordon Rocks is located north east of Santa Cruz. Gordon Rocks is a cone shaped tuff formation and is a world famous dive site and one of the best dive sites in Galapagos. However, this site is only suitable for experienced divers as currents and surge are mostly very strong and can also cause the washing machine effect. These currents bring the plankton to the surface attracting large pelagic fish. But hammerhead sharks are the main attraction! You also can observe the oceanic sunfish (Mola Mola), Galapagos sharks, white tip reef sharks, marine turtles, mobula rays, sting rays, eagle rays, panamic green morays, Galapagos eels, barracudas and various reef fish.

It is one of the few places where you can see endemic black coral in amongst the riot of colorful clams, algae, flora and fauna that cover the rocks like splashes of paint.

Kicker Rock

This site is the best spot in San Cristobal for spotting marine turtles, eagle rays, Galapagos sharks, and if lucky, hammerhead sharks. Kicker Rock is sheer-walled tuff cone that has been eroded in half and is home to a large colony of sea birds, such as boobies and frigate birds. The whole area and especially the west face of the rock, is exposed to moderate currents. The water at the bottom is cool and clear, and among the boulders you can expect to see a variety of wrasses, starfish, surgeonfish, and angelfish. Sightings of large rays and marine turtles are common as well. But the highlight is diving with Galapagos sharks, white tip reef sharks and hammerhead sharks!
