About the site
The Cave (La Cueva)
The Cave, La Cueva in Spanish, is a dive site at Wolf Island named after the caves, overhangs and swim-throughs that open in its rock walls. It offers a different kind of dive from the other Wolf sites, combining a varied wall with the big animals of the open water.
In the caves and crevices, white-tipped reef sharks rest on the bottom, moray eels peer out of the cracks and the rock is covered with encrusting life. Along the wall, schools of hammerheads and Galápagos sharks pass in the current, sea lions and fur seals sometimes play around the divers, and green turtles, eagle rays and schools of reef fish are common; whale sharks are possible from about June to November.
Good buoyancy is important near the walls and inside the swim-throughs, and the currents can be strong at the corners of the site, so it is for experienced divers.
The Cave is visited only on liveaboard dive cruises, which dive several sites around Wolf.
