Dive-site story
Situated along the western coastline of San Cristóbal Island near the landmark Cerro Mundo, this submerged volcanic reef features large basaltic boulders, sandy patches, and sloping rocky shelves. Currents sweep plankton past the formation, attracting pelagics while curious Galápagos sea lions dart between boulders.
Frequent flybys from Galápagos sea lions in shallow sections
Schools of Pacific creolefish and king angelfish over rocky boulders
Resting whitetip reef sharks tucked beneath volcanic overhangs
Spotted eagle rays and mobulas cruising mid-water
