★★★★☆
(642)
Just 5 minutes by boat from Pucusana or 20 minutes from Santa Maria, is the most famous diving spot in Lima, where most of the divers in the region learn to dive. It is a sufficiently protected bay so that the diving conditions are almost always optimal.
With an average depth of 10m, this dive site hides underwater an incredible kelp forest, home to many species of fish, crabs, anemones, among others.
