Acerca de Gordon Rocks
Gordon Rocks es un cráter volcánico expuesto frente a la costa este de Santa Cruz, donde los buceadores avanzados recorren pináculos rocosos, paredes internas y pasos hacia aguas azules dentro de un cono de toba parcialmente sumergido. El sitio es famoso por los cardúmenes de tiburones martillo y otros pelágicos, y también pueden aparecer rayas, tortugas, peces de arrecife, lobos marinos, peces luna y tiburones punta blanca cuando la corriente, el oleaje y la visibilidad se alinean.

Expect a boat-based Galapagos dive inside and around a submerged crater with strong current, surge, blue-water passes, and visibility that can tighten noticeably in the cooler season.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Gordon Rocks is widely treated as an advanced site because current can become strong or very strong, visual references can be limited, and surface conditions may be rough in the cooler season.
Access Restrictions
Gordon Rocks is a boat-only site from Santa Cruz with no practical independent shore access, and operators commonly require advanced certification or a logged-dive threshold before confirming a place on the trip.
Legal Notes
Day-boat itineraries to Gordon Rocks can change with ocean conditions and operator permissions; Aquaventures states routing may be adjusted at the discretion of Galapagos National Park and the naturalist guide.
