Bartolomé Island Dive Site — Galápagos
About Bartolomé Island
One of the most iconic landscapes in the Galápagos, with its distinctive Pinnacle Rock towering above surreal lava formations that continue underwater. Galápagos penguins dart through the shallows hunting small fish while sea lions perform acrobatic displays around divers. The volcanic rock creates a moonscape seabed where octopuses, rays, and white-tip sharks shelter.
