Darwin's Arch Dive Site — Galápagos

About Darwin's Arch

The holy grail of Galápagos diving and one of the world's top dive sites. Massive schools of hundreds of scalloped hammerheads patrol the arch while whale sharks cruise past during the cold season. Dolphins, Galápagos sharks, and green turtles complete the spectacle at this remote, current-swept pinnacle accessible only by liveaboard.
