One of the biggest advantages of land-based diving, is that you travel to specific dive sites like Gordon's Rocks and other places where more animals are habitually seen. Also, these places aren't often visited during a regular tour of the islands.
Land-based diving begins at Puerto Ayora with one of a few dive operators. You usually leave early in the morning (around 7:00 ) and arrive to the morning dive site. After the morning dive, lunch is provided as well as a much needed rest. You'll go to the afternoon dive site, dive, and return to Puerto Ayora in the late afternoon. |

While with most sites, you travel directly to the dive sites, dive, and
return to Puerto Ayora, there are two of the sites that require overnight
stays.
Darwin
and Wolf Islands, located far to the northwest, have no
visitor sites, making them unaccessible for those touring by land.
Because of the magnificent animal-life and depths, they are challenging
dives meant for more accomplished divers.
It is possible to
see these islands with an overnight
boat stay with a dive operator out of Puerto Ayora, or
to charter them as part of a live-aboard diving tour |
