All about Channel dive site
This narrow stretch of water beside Darwin Island is where the Galápagos starts to feel truly oceanic—deep blue on one side, dark rock and a current line on the other. The dive often plays out like a moving lookout post, with pelagic life drifting past in layers.
What to see
In this corridor, galápagos sharks, silky sharks, dolphins, yellowfin tuna, and big schools of fast-moving fish are regularly mentioned, along with rays such as eagle rays, mobula rays, and manta rays. In mid-year, whale sharks are often the headline visitor around Darwin Island
When To Go Diving
Water temperature in the Galápagos is commonly described around 16–28°C, shifting with season and location. Visibility is often variable, frequently cited around 10–25 m, with occasional better days in the north. For northern encounters, June to October is widely associated with whale shark season in the Darwin/Wolf area, while December to May is typically linked with warmer, calmer conditions
