34.5% Nitrox Pt Ayora Santa Cruz Island or North Plaza depending on which DM you talk to, Cris said "we would see sealions and maybe rays", sand bottom with garden eels, puffers and a big turtle, along the wall is rubble covered with algea, yellow tails, hawkfish, trumpets, triggers, parrots, baitfish and sergents. The bigger stuff is more turtles, octipus but spent most of the dive watching the sealions play. After the dive we go for a land tour on South Plaza, Darwin research center to see the giant tortoises and the beautiful town of Santa Cruz.
