El Derrumbe

The Landslide Dive Site in Lobos Island is only accessible from a liveaboard. It is locally known as El Derrumbe and is one of the most famous dive sites in the archipelago. This day we will have one of the most interesting and remote visits. It was named like that, as it was visited by Theodor Wolf, the German geologist who spent considerable years mapping and studying the geology of Galapagos. Lobos Island has a very large colony of seabirds (Nazca boobies, red-footed boobies, frigate birds, swallow-tailed gulls) and under its waters a great variety of reef fish, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, jacks, Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, school of hammerhead sharks, eagle rays, bottle-nosed dolphins, sea lions. From July to November is the whale shark season where you can enjoy sightings of these giant creatures.
