Why dive here
With 32+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, humpback whales and pufferfish - Buceo Orca offers some of Easter Island (Rapa Nui)'s richest diving. Water ranges 21-26°C, warmest February, March, April.
Buceo Orca on Rapa Nui offers a solid dive, especially if you're keen on the unique East Pacific species. We've often spotted the Limespot Butterflyfish fluttering around the cauliflower coral formations, and the Pink Squirrelfish really stand out against the darker volcanic rock. Keep an eye out for the Bull Sharks – they’re around, though usually shy. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, no strong currents to fight, making it suitable for divers who prefer a gentle pace while still seeing some interesting fish.
