Seymour North in the Galápagos offers a solid dive, often with white-tip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom. We typically drift along the reef wall, keeping an eye out for green sea turtles and the occasional Galápagos shark cruising by. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with some current, and keen to see typical Galápagos pelagics without extreme conditions. Visibility is generally reliable here, making for relaxed viewing.
