All about Champion dive site
Champion Islet is a Floreana dive with a softer rhythm than the far-north sites—more wall contours, calmer pockets, and close-up life tucked into the rock. It’s also famously social underwater, with sea lions that often turn a safety stop into a playful intermission
What to see
This is one of the Galápagos sites most strongly linked with sea lions, often described in large numbers through the dive. The wall topography is noted for black corals, and marine-life lists commonly include seahorses, shrimp, blennies, sea cucumbers, sea turtles, and whitetip reef sharks
When To Go Diving
For this site, published dive briefings list 20–26°C in January–May and 16–20°C in June–December. Visibility is frequently given as 12–30 m, depending on conditions. If warmer water is the priority, December to May is the usual choice; for the cooler season’s nutrient pulse, June to November is the classic window
