South Plazas Island
South Plaza is a small island off the east coast of Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands. It has an
area of 0.13 km and a maximum altitude of 23 metres.
South Plaza was formed by lava up streaming from the bottom of the ocean. Despite its small
size it is home to a large number of species and it is famous for its extraordinary flora. That is
why this island is very popular with visitors. On the steep banks it is possible to see a great
number of birds such as nesting Red-billed Tropicbirds and Swallow-tailed Gulls, but most of all,
enjoying the beautiful view from atop the steep banks or strolling along the base of the cliff is an
extremely pleasurable experience. Very attractive are the beautiful prickly pear cactus trees
(Opuntia echios) and of course the large colony of Galapagos Land Iguanas. Depending on the season,
the Sesuvium ground vegetation changes its colour from intense green in the rainy season to orange
and purple in the dry season.
Highlights: Sea lions, Land iguanas, Lava lizards, Swallow-tailed gulls,
Lava gulls, Shearwaters, Marine iguanas, Great & Magnificent frigate birds, Blue footed boobies,
Brown noddie terns, Brown pelicans, White tip sharks, Sting rays, Sea turtles.

Included in the daily diving tours?
- 2 Dives on one day

- Experienced English and Spanish speaking guides
- Snacks, fruit and hot tea, lunch, juice and drinking water, towels
- Check dive (This is a short weights and gear check in shallow water as Galapagos seas require more weights and neoprene than you may be used to. Also a quick skills refresher if it’s been a while since your last dive).
Diving in the Galapagos can be challenging. Currents can be strong and more unpredictable than you
may be used to, especially in the July – December months, when it is more common to see bigger
marine creatures in the areas.
Pre-check of Dive Gear
As with any adventure, preparation starts a little in advance! We ask that you come to our dive
center at least one day before your scheduled trip to get your gear fitted. This is extremely
important as we leave early in the morning and want to ensure a relaxed and comfortable dive trip
for you.
Water Temperatures
July to December water temperatures are cooler here, from 65°F – 75°F (18°C- 23°C) with
occasional thermoclines from 60°F – 64°F (16°C- 18°C). We provide you with 5mm or 7mm wetsuits as
well as hoods and also have some spare layers. However, if you usually feel the cold faster and more
fiercely than others, you may want to bring an extra layer of your own.
