GUY FAWKES

Situated off the North Western coast of Santa Cruz, Guy Fawkes is the remains of two adjacent tuff cones protruding above the water. The crescent / shaped edges face into the current, which comes from the south, so the walls on the leeward sides are protected. This dive is suitable for beginning to intermediate divers. Visibility is usually pretty good and the site is almost always protected from currents and heavy seas. The back side of the eastern crescent is a sheer to steeply sloping wall adorned with black coral.

Upon our current schedule Guy Fawkes can be combined with the following dive sites on the same dive day:

• Daphne

Although the marine life is varied, there are rarely any pelagics because of the lack of current. Divers will see schools of grunts, yellowtail surgeonfish, and yellowtail snapper. Rays, white- tipped reef sharks, green turtles and moray eels are fairly common, too. Sea lions join divers on their visit and bottom fishes, such as king angelfish, puffers, creolefish, damsels, butterflyfish, blennies, and parrotfish are all common. However, overfishing has reduced the number of many other fish commonly encountered in other sites in the Galapagos.
