Landslide
Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seals & sea lions, sea turtles and sperm whales - Landslide offers some of Galápagos Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 23-28°C, warmest February, March, April.
Wolf Island’s Landslide site is exactly what it sounds like, a steep rubble slope that drops into the depths. We often find ourselves just hanging out in the current, watching the drama unfold. This is one of those spots where you’ll regularly see huge walls of hammerhead sharks cruising by, sometimes so many you have to look twice to believe your eyes. Alongside them, glasseye snapper gather in dense schools, and big tuna streak past, hunting. It’s a good spot for experienced divers comfortable with drift dives and keeping an eye on their buddies.
Safety Notes
