BahÃa Gardner is a beginner-friendly dive site in the stunning bay of Gardner on Española Island in the southern Galápagos, reaching 18 meters. The white sand bottom and crystal-clear turquoise waters create a paradise-like setting. Playful Galápagos sea lions are the stars here, performing acrobatic displays around divers. Green sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, and white-tip reef sharks are commonly seen. The bay's sheltered position provides calm conditions, making it one of the most scenic and accessible dives in the entire Galápagos archipelago.

Absolutely stunning dive site. The visibility was exceptional and we spotted several species we had never seen before. Will definitely come back.
Great spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
