Acerca de Floreana
Floreana es un área de buceo guiado en barco al sur de Santa Cruz que conecta Champion, Punta Cormorant y Enderby en una sola salida rica en vida marina. Espere afloramientos rocosos, fondos de arena, estructuras de coral y esponjas, y cambios de corriente según el sitio que pueden ir de suaves a influenciados por deriva. Se trata de una excursión de un día a Galápagos con traslados largos, no de un arrecife local informal, por lo que conviene a buceadores que se sientan cómodos siguiendo a un guía y adaptándose al estado del mar.

Local Intel For Floreana
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best for guided scuba day trips. The calmer sites work for newer divers, while the driftier Floreana stops suit divers with strong buoyancy and situational awareness.
Freedive
Not a primary freedive target; the site is organized around guided boat scuba rather than breath-hold shore access.
Snorkel
Dedicated snorkel stops are usually a better fit elsewhere on Floreana; the dive route itself is aimed at scuba.
