GORDON ROCK
SANTA FE
Gordon's Rock is probably the most technical dive
in the Galapagos, for which reason we usually
demand a minimum of 30 previously logged dives.
By the nature of its structure, dive sites at Gordon's
Rocks are mainly wall dives with a deep bottom.

This island is a solid structure of basaltic lava rocks. There
are four main dive sites which generally have good visibility and mild currents, making these sites ideal for novices.
At the same time, the animals and topography (including
a spectacular arch) make them interesting for intermediates and experts.
