Dennis Prong in Malpelo is one of the island's most reliable spots for pelagic action. We typically drift along the reef wall here, often finding schooling hammerheads and silvertips cruising by. It’s a site best suited for experienced divers comfortable with strong currents and deep water, as the action can often be found deeper than 20 metres. Visibility is generally excellent, making it a good choice for those keen on capturing wide-angle shots.
