About the site

The Landslide (El Derrumbe)

The Landslide, El Derrumbe in Spanish, is one of the classic dives at Wolf Island. Its name comes from the slope of large boulders that tumbles from the base of the cliffs into deep water, as if part of the island had slid into the sea.

Divers descend along the slope and settle among the boulders at its edge to watch the open water. Schools of scalloped hammerheads come and go with the current, Galápagos sharks patrol close by, and from about June to November whale sharks may appear. Moray eels hide among the rocks, green sea turtles and eagle rays pass, great schools of jacks, snappers and barracuda swirl overhead, and bottlenose dolphins sometimes join the dive.

The current can be strong and the surge heavy near the rocks, so The Landslide is for experienced divers.

It can only be visited on liveaboard dive cruises, usually on the same days as Shark Bay and the other dive sites of Wolf.
