El pináculo - Isla de la Plata

El Pináculo - Isla de la Plata is a beginner-friendly dive at a striking underwater pinnacle off Ecuador's Isla de la Plata. The pinnacle rises dramatically from the deep, its walls encrusted with gorgonians, sponges, and cup corals. The summit is a gathering point for large schools of Pacific jack mackerel and Galápagos grunts. Sea lions from the island's colony often visit, spiraling playfully around divers. This is one of the island's signature dives, combining impressive topography with guaranteed wildlife encounters.
