Punta Espinosa Dive Site — Galápagos
About Punta Espinosa
Located on Fernandina's northeast coast, this site benefits from powerful cold-water upwellings that create one of the richest marine environments in the Galápagos. Marine iguanas feed on algae-covered rocks in the shallows while Galápagos penguins hunt small fish nearby. Sea lions, flightless cormorants, and fur seals all share this remarkable volcanic coastline.
