All about Kicker Rock dive site
Kicker Rock (león dormido) is a towering formation off San Cristóbal, with sheer walls and a channel that invites you to drift, pause, and look into the blue. It’s as much about geology as wildlife—volcanic shapes turned into an underwater corridor
What to see
Sharks are a major draw, with galápagos sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and occasional hammerheads discussed for the area. Sea lions, sea turtles, and eagle rays are also commonly associated with the site, along with dense schools of fish in the channel
When To Go Diving
January to May is often preferred for warmer water and easier conditions, while the cooler season can bring colder water and more variable visibility. Expect roughly 20–26°C in the warmer months and cooler dips in the mid-year season, with visibility commonly around 10–25 m
