With over 2,000 kilometers of coastline bordering the Pacific Ocean, the South American country of Peru offers many diving opportunities. The Andes Mountains are a beautiful backdrop for this country’s famous culture and gastronomy. However, Peru diving also has its charm. With temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, you will need a thicker wetsuit or dry suit, but these colder waters bring unique marine life encounters. Peru diving offers kelp forests buzzing with life, curious sea-lion encounters, abandoned oil platforms, shipwrecks, and many other fantastic dives. Explore Peru’s top dive sites here.
