About this site
El Salto lies along the coast near Valparaíso, on Chile's central Pacific coastline, in the cool, current-driven waters of the Humboldt system. The site is a wall dive reaching a maximum depth of around 40 metres, rated advanced. This stretch of coast is defined by rocky shoreline and the cold upwelling typical of the Humboldt Current, conditions that shape the wall's depth and exposure.
