Why dive here
Bahia Cumberland is a dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, octopuses and sperm whales. Water sits around 18°C.
Bahia Cumberland offers a gentle introduction to diving the Juan Fernandez Islands. Descending into the bay, we often spot common octopus tucked into crevices and the strange, elongated bellowfish drifting by. California yellowtail and schools of jack mackerel zip past, and if you’re lucky, a South Atlantic elephant seal might cruise through the deeper sections, a truly magnificent encounter. Visibility here is usually excellent, making it a comfortable dive for beginners looking to explore a unique ecosystem without strong currents.
