About this site
Pinaculos sits off Wolf Island, in the far north of the Galapagos archipelago, well removed from the central islands and reachable only by liveaboard after a long open crossing from Santa Cruz or San Cristobal. The uninhabited island's submerged pinnacles form some of the most remote dive terrain in Ecuadorian waters. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 20 metres and is rated an intermediate dive.
