Galapagos: Isabella Island

Cape Marshall

Crossing to the south side of the equator a fabulous dive site lies on the eastern side of Isabela Island. Manta ray sightings are not uncommon here, but if you don't get to see these magnificent creatures, there are plenty of white-tipped reef sharks, schools of endemic black striped salems, yellowtail surgeonfish, creole fish, parrotfish, scrawled filefish and turtles to keep you busy.

The rocky volcanic cliffs drop down to the ocean floor with areas of obvious lava flow. Other areas are covered with square rocky fingers that are stacked vertically across the wall decorated with tufts of black coral.

Interesting colonies of anemones grow on the rocks and branches. Also found here are marbled rays, pacific boxfish, tiger snake eels, and even black & white zebra morays. The ridge of rocks slopes up so close to the surface that you can enjoy this dive even while doing the safety stop.

Tagus Cove
Wear good walking shoes Created by the lava of six volcanoes that flowed together, this 1800 square foot Island is the largest in Galapagos. Graffiti dating back to the 1800's is written on the rocky cliff. The trail leads to a salt water lagoon and a great view of the lava fields, volcanic formation and the ocean. A panga ride reveals marine life and Galapagos penguins. Five volcanos are still active.
