All about Tower Rock dive site
Off the west side of Darwin Island, Tower Rock is often described as a compact, high-energy dive where the current does much of the storytelling. It’s a site that can feel like a quick-cut nature documentary—fast fish, sharp silhouettes, and sudden arrivals
What to see
Animal lists for Tower Rock commonly include galápagos sharks, silky sharks, dolphins, yellowfin tuna, and schooling jacks, with rays such as mobula rays, eagle rays, and manta rays also frequently noted. In the mid-year season, whale sharks are often discussed for the Darwin area more broadly
When To Go Diving
Seasonality follows the wider Galápagos pattern: December to May is typically referenced for warmer, calmer water, while June to November trends cooler and more nutrient-rich. Water temperatures across the islands are commonly cited around 16–28°C, depending on month and location. Visibility is often variable; many guides summarize the region around 10–25 m overall
