Daphne Island

Sitting to the North of Santa Cruz, Daphne Island was created by volcanic activity. Below the surface the volcanic structures are still in good condition and make a great dive for viewing multi-colored sponges that cover the volcanic walls along with various aquatic life.


Highlights: Manta Rays, White-spotted Eagle Rays, White-tipped Reef Sharks and young Galapagos Sharks can be seen.
Difficulty: Intermediate
