Darwin's Arch, Galapagos Island, Ecuador (with Map & Photos)

Darwin's Arch is an impressive 15 M (50 ft) lava arch. A quick descent into the current, where you will then grab onto the rocks below and basically be a spectator of things flying by! This is the most famous dive site in the Galapagos Islands and recognized as one of the best dive sites in the world! Whale sharks and schools of hammerhead sharks and dolphins play in the waters. Accessible only by dive boats, Darwin Island is an underwater Disneyland.
