About this site
Pinzon refers to the small island lying between Santa Cruz and Isabela in the central Galapagos archipelago, with dive sites along its coastline typically reached by boat from Santa Cruz or on Galapagos liveaboard routes. The area sits within the Galapagos Marine Reserve, a volcanic setting shaped by the strong currents that move through the central islands. It's rated a beginner dive, and divers have reported batfish, eagle rays, manta rays, reef sharks, sea turtles, seahorses, and stingrays around the site.
