Arrecife Edinburgh
Why dive here
With 71+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda and pufferfish - Arrecife Edinburgh offers some of Malpelo Island's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, September, October.
Arrecife Edinburgh is a solid dive, typical of Malpelo. We usually drop in to find ourselves among schooling hammerheads, often in impressive numbers, and the occasional silvertip shark cruising past. It's a current-swept reef, so we recommend it for experienced divers comfortable in stronger conditions, offering a good chance at pelagic encounters. Expect plenty of jacks and snappers, too.
