Diving plan
We will sail approximately 45 minutes to our first destination: the Sleeping Lion.
Here, you will witness the majesty of this volcanic lava rock.
Upon arrival, your diver guide will provide you with a detailed briefing about the dives you will be doing.
You will experience two exciting underwater dives:
1. It will start in the channel between the two rocks.

Each dive, which takes about 45 minutes, will allow you to explore a fascinating underwater world full of Galapagos sharks, black and white tip sharks, hammerhead sharks, turtles, manta rays, sunfish, dolphins, sea lions, starfish, sea urchins and a variety of marine life.
After a fascinating dive we disembark at one of the beautiful beaches, such as Manglecito, Puerto Grande or Cerro Brujo, depending on the itinerary of the boat.
Here, you will enjoy a fresh lunch on board and there is plenty of time for those who wish to explore the beach or do an exciting snorkeling activity.
