Scuba Eden

Scuba Eden in the Galápagos isn't one of those big-ticket, hammerhead-guarantee sites, and we appreciate that. It’s a site that rewards slower diving, a place to really look. We often find ourselves drifting over these gently sloping reefs, eyes peeled for the smaller, harder-to-spot stuff. You’ll see plenty of Jacks cruising by, and the Galapagos sea lions are almost always around, playful as ever, zipping past, blowing bubbles in your face. What we really love here, though, is the macro life. This is where you’ll find those tiny Large-banded Blennies peeking out of holes, or the vibrant Spiny sea squirts clinging to the rock. Keep an eye out for Speckled morays tucked into crevices and the flash of a King Angelfish. The Cortez Rainbow Wrasses are always a colourful blur, and the Giant Hawkfish are just… well, they’re giants! It’s a calmer dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who wants to soak in the unique Galápagos smaller ecosystems without the constant rush of bigger pelagics. We’d suggest going in the morning; the light can be stunning then, really bringing out the colours.
