DIVE SITE INFORMATION

Academy Bay is the bay just in front of Puerto Ayora.  Within easy reach of our dive base, this is a favorite area for check out dives as well as teaching opportunities.  Three of the sites are generally calm with little current, ideal for students or novices. At the other two sites, the dives could be a little more complicated if there is a current so they are suitable for intermediate or expert divers. Here you can frolic with sea lion or listen as the damselfish munch away at algae farms. You may also see marine iguanas, rays, and even sharks all just outside your hotel door.
