About Darwins Arch Roey

Darwin’s Arch Roey is a remote liveaboard-only dive off Darwin Island in the Galápagos, built around a current-swept volcanic arch and nearby cleaning stations. This is a big-animal site rather than a reef-garden dive: expect hammerheads, whale sharks and other pelagics moving through blue water over exposed rock. The site demands advanced buoyancy and current management, but it rewards that effort with some of the most famous shark diving on earth.
