Best for intermediate divers, 3-40m, shore & boat entry, mild current.
Blancas Islands, located off the coast of Bahía Camarones, features a reef structure that descends from 3 to 40 metres. This site is suited for intermediate divers, offering consistent visibility of 30 metres. Conditions are characterised by mild currents, though divers should be aware of surge and swell near the reef and pinnacle. Due to surf and shore break at the water edge, boat entry is recommended over shore entry. Water temperatures are cold, ranging from 8 to 14 degrees Celsius, necessitating the use of a 7mm wetsuit with hood and gloves or a drysuit. Local facilities in the Camarones area are limited, so confirm availability before visiting.
