About El Dado

El Dado is an advanced boat dive off the northwest face of Pucusana's Galapagos Island, reached on a short run from the pier. The site combines sand, rock, and a rocky wall, so the profile feels like a quick drop onto a structured edge rather than a relaxed bay dive. Because the open sea hits directly here, divers need a prompt entry, a steady descent, and good buoyancy control. It suits confident divers who want a compact, exposed site with varied bottom texture.
