About Baltra
A reef dive. It goes down to 12 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 43 km away. The sea is about 22°C in September, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 27°C in February, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). The town to stay in is Puerto Ayora.
