Cape Marshall (Jan-May) - Isabela

Galapagos Islands

Overview

Cape Marshall is an amazing dive site on Isabela Island, featuring a wall of volcanic rock sinking down to the bottom of the ocean. You can explore this great spot and swim along a diversity of marine species, like Hammerhead sharks, sunfish, manta rays, and even sea turtles and sea lions. The hot season in Galapagos is from January through May, when the temperatures are warmer, the vegetation is more luxuriant and the colors are more vibrant. This makes the water perfect for diving in little more than gloves and a 4 mm wetsuit.
