Best for intermediate divers, 10-35m, shore & boat entry, mild current.
Punta Piramide offers a diverse underwater environment featuring natural reef, artificial reef structures, and kelp forests. Divers can explore depths ranging from 10 to 35 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. The site is accessible from both shore and boat, though conditions vary significantly, with visibility fluctuating between 3 and 20 metres. Currents are generally mild, but the cold water, ranging from 11 to 16 degrees Celsius, necessitates the use of drysuits or thick 14mm wetsuits. Intermediate divers should remain aware of boat traffic near the drop-off and monitor their proximity to the wall, as currents can intensify.

Check visibility conditions locally before committing to a deep section, as the range is wide and a 3-metre day at 30 metres is a very different dive to a 20-metre day. Facilities are not confirmed on site, so arrive self-sufficient with all exposure protection already fitted.
