Anemone Wall in Antofagasta is a shore-entry wall and reef dive reaching depths of 25 to 30 metres. The site offers consistent visibility of 30 metres, allowing divers to trace the structure of the wall during their descent. Divers should expect moderate currents, which provide a drift-diving experience, and water temperatures ranging from 14 to 16 degrees Celsius. Due to the depth, potential surge at the entry point, and cooler water, this site is suited for intermediate divers with strong buoyancy control. Thermal protection is essential for the conditions. Guided tours are available to assist with navigating the wall and managing the current.
