It is located on the northwest face of the Galapagos Island of Pucusana. Approximately 25 minutes by boat from Santa Maria and only 10 minutes from the Pucusana pier. It is an area where the sea hits directly, so a quick entry and descent from the boat is needed. Only for advanced divers.
Different algae are found on the bottom. It has both a sandy and rocky bottom, down a rocky wall, with an average depth of 24 meters.
