Mosquera

Mosquera is a sand-and-rock islet in the channel between Seymour and Baltra, home to one of the largest Galápagos sea lion colonies — the same ones that turn the dive into a guaranteed acrobatic playtime. The sandy platform at 12–25m hosts garden eels, Galápagos sharks, eagle rays, mobulas and turtles. Moderate to strong currents; good for beginners in the more sheltered stretches.
