Dive-site story
Located at the easternmost point of San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos, Punta Pitt offers a submerged volcanic landscape formed by eroded tuff cones, submerged ledges, and boulder slopes. Inquisitive Galápagos sea lions regularly approach divers in the shallows, while pelagic species patrol off the deeper drops.
Interactions with playful Galápagos sea lions in the shallower volcanic channels
Schools of Pacific creole-fish, yellowtail surgeonfish, and king angelfish swarming over rocky reefs
Regular passes from spotted eagle rays and mobula rays cruising the current lines
