Ecuador
Puerto Ayora
Puerto Ayora sits on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos, Ecuador. It is the main gateway for wildlife-focused snorkeling and limited diving access in the archipelago. Local dive centers offer day trips to nearby sites around Santa Cruz and nearby islands with emphasis on conservation-aware diving and shallow coastal routes. The Galápagos diving scene is more suited to experienced divers due to variable currents, strong marine life, and strict park rules; the town itself is more of a hub for logistics, boats, and provisioning than a stand-alone diving destination.
