Santa Cruz Island

Another major island within the Galápagos Archipelago, Santa Cruz is a central hub for tourism and serves as a starting point for many dive tours. The island itself offers easier access to some of the Galápagos' most famous dive sites, including those around the uninhabited islands. The waters around Santa Cruz are known for their clear visibility, diverse marine life, and the opportunity to dive with schools of hammerhead sharks, rays, and other pelagic species.
