Scuba Diving Along The Coast

With over 1,000 species of fish, 66 shark species, 5 species of sea turtles, 1,400 mollusks, and 300 shellfish, the coast of Peru is an incredible and diverse place waiting to be explored. Peru’s Pacific coast offers a variety of scuba diving experiences for divers of all levels. Explore the lively underwater world at Pucusana or dive into the depths of Punta Sal. With its rich marine biodiversity and one-of-a-kind underwater landscapes, Peru’s coast is a prime destination for scuba enthusiasts. Peru’s 1,500 miles (2,400 km) coastline harbors a diverse marine ecosystem supported by the nutrient-rich Humboldt Current. Scuba diving in Peru offers encounters with playful Peruvian Sea Lions, graceful Manta Rays, and gentle sea turtles like Olive Ridley Sea Turtle and Green Sea Turtle. Divers can also observe Guanay Cormorants, snake-like Moray Eels, and vast schools of Inca Anchoveta, a vital food source for many predators. The coral reefs and rocky coastlines are home to loads of reef fish, creating an unforgettable underwater experience in this biodiverse region.
