Cowley Islet

Cowley Islet, sitting off the eastern coast of Isabela, often feels like a warm-up act for the bigger Galápagos sites, but that's not to say it disappoints. We usually find ourselves drifting along, keeping an eye out for patrolling reef sharks and the inevitable playful sea lions zipping past. It's a reliable spot for green turtles, often spotted grazing calmly, and if you’re lucky, a manta ray might glide by in the blue. Keep your eyes peeled for penguins too; they’re a quirky bonus here, a reminder of the islands' unique blend of climates. It’s a pretty chill dive, making it a good fit if you’re easing into the rhythm of Galápagos currents.
