North Seymour and Daphne Minor are two key diving spots in the Galapagos, located north of Santa Cruz. This combination allows you to explore two distinct marine ecosystems in a single day: from the calm waters teeming with turtles and sharks on Seymour, to the deep, mysterious drop-offs of Daphne, home to pelagic fish and eagle rays. Ideal for divers seeking diversity in a single-day experience.
