About this site
Valparaiso sits on Chile's central coast along the Pacific, a major port city known for its steep hills and historic harbor. Diving in this area typically takes place along the rocky coastline near the city, where cool, nutrient-rich Pacific waters support a range of temperate marine life. The waters here are influenced by the Humboldt Current, which keeps temperatures on the cooler side year round.
