Mosquera Island Dive Site — Galápagos

About Mosquera Island

A tiny sand and rock island between Baltra and North Seymour hosting one of the largest Galápagos sea lion colonies. Playful juveniles spiral around divers in the crystal-clear shallows, making this the best site for close sea lion interactions. The sandy bottom also attracts eagle rays, garden eels, and diamond stingrays.
