All about Punta Morena dive site

Punta Morena pairs black lava and still lagoons with a coastline that looks freshly forged. Underwater, it can feel moody and mineral-rich, especially when the cooler currents are running

What to see

Sea turtles and sea lions are commonly associated with the water here, with galápagos penguins also reported in the area. The setting is defined by lava boulders and crevices rather than coral gardens

When To Go Diving

July to December often brings cooler, more changeable conditions on the west side, while December to May tends to feel warmer and calmer overall. Water across seasons is often described within about 16–28°C for the archipelago, but western sites frequently sit toward the cooler end, and visibility commonly ranges around 10–20 m
