Gordon Rocks Dive Site — Galápagos
About Gordon Rocks
Known as the "Washing Machine" for its powerful, unpredictable currents that swirl around a submerged volcanic crater. Schools of up to 50 scalloped hammerhead sharks circle the three rocky pinnacles, while eagle rays and sea turtles glide through the surge channels. This is considered the most thrilling dive in the central Galápagos — not for the faint-hearted, but absolutely unforgettable.
