About this site
Bartolomé/Cousin Rocks sits off Bartolomé Island in the central Galápagos archipelago, near Santiago Island, a stretch famous above water for Pinnacle Rock and its volcanic scenery. The dive site itself is a pinnacle formation reaching a maximum depth of around 18 metres, rated a beginner dive. Diving here takes place over volcanic rock and boulders rather than coral reef, in the cool, nutrient-rich water typical of the central Galápagos, where converging currents draw in a wide range of marine life.
