Roca Redonda Dive Site — Galápagos
About Roca Redonda
A submerged volcanic cone rising from deep water far north of Isabela, surrounded by dramatic thermoclines that attract large pelagics. Hammerheads and Galápagos sharks patrol the rocky summit while volcanic gas bubbles rise from underwater vents. The remote location and challenging conditions reward experienced divers with encounters rarely seen elsewhere.
