Caragua is a Galápagos wreck with a quietly cinematic feel: broken structure, scattered sections of metal, and small details that emerge as you drift closer. It’s often described as approachable in depth, which makes it a calm counterpoint to the archipelago’s more athletic, current-driven dives

What to see
The wreck itself is the feature: a steamship commonly described as roughly 100 metres long, associated with a sinking date of 1916, with sections resting in relatively shallow water (often cited around a maximum of about 14 metres). Coal from the ship’s fuel has also been noted on the seabed. sea lions and green sea turtles are frequently mentioned nearby, with schools of fish threading through the structure
When To Go Diving
Dives are run year-round, with December to May generally bringing warmer conditions and an easier surface ride, while mid-year months can feel cooler and more changeable. Typical water temperatures for the region are often described around 20–26°C in the warmer season and cooler in the mid-year period, with visibility that can swing from modest to surprisingly clear depending on swell and plankton
