About this site
Puerto Egas is a dive site on the northwest side of Santiago Island in the Galápagos. The bottom is an irregular slope with a sandy substrate, and the terrain features rocks supporting attached organisms including corals, sponges, anemones, gorgonians, bivalves, and Christmas tree worms.
Visibility at Puerto Egas is generally poor, running from 8 to 12 metres. Conditions are calm, with no significant current concerns noted for the site.
Animal life centres on a great variety of reef fish species, with a notable presence of juveniles alongside Spanish mackerels, barracuda, and sea lions. After the dive, penguins can be observed by snorkelling at the surface.
