Plateau
Why dive here
With 43+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Plateau offers some of Santiago's richest reef diving.
The Plateau dive site off Santiago offers a good drift dive experience. We often see stingrays resting on the sandy bottom and schools of barracuda cruising past. It's a fairly straightforward dive, ideal for those comfortable with moderate current and keen to cover some ground. Visibility here can be excellent, making it a relaxing dive.
