Visitor site · Isabela Island
Roca Blanca, Isabela: a little-visited dive site on the southeast coast, open since 2012, with sharks, giant mantas and great bait balls of salema.
About the site
Roca Blanca, White Rock, is a dive site on the southeast coast of Isabela, near Cartago Bay. It was opened to divers only in 2012 and is still one of the least visited dive sites in the islands, a secret kept by a few dive guides.
The water here is cooler and richer in nutrients than at Darwin and Wolf, and the marine life is intense. Up to six different species of sharks can be seen, along with giant manta rays, with wingspans of up to seven meters, eagle rays, sea lions, moray eels and lobsters. The most spectacular sight is the bait balls, dense spinning schools of salema, often hunted by sea lions and sharks.
The visibility is often good, which makes it a favorite of underwater photographers, but the currents can be strong, so it suits experienced divers.
Roca Blanca is included only in a few dive itineraries.
