About this site
The Anchorage is a dive site at Wolf Island in the Galápagos, conducted as an optional night dive on liveaboard itineraries. The bottom is sandy and shallow, reaching a maximum depth of 8 metres, making it accessible to beginner-level divers.
The site's sandy floor is home to garden eels and red-lipped batfish, and the verified marine life list also includes sea lion pups and young sea lions. Night diving here offers a good chance of observing these animals in their natural setting along the sand.
