Reef Shepherd

Malpelo Island, Colombia

The team at Reef Shepherd know Malpelo. Really know it. They’ve been running trips out here for over a decade, and that kind of experience shows when you’re navigating the currents and seeking out the big stuff. For anyone serious about seeing hammerheads and silky sharks in serious numbers, Reef Shepherd is your pick. They’re not about fancy resorts; it's about getting you to the action safely and efficiently. Malpelo is no easy dive, and that’s precisely why we’d go with a crew like Reef Shepherd. We love their no-nonsense approach; it's all about the diving. Expect early mornings, long boat rides, and exhilarating drifts over walls that just drop into the blue. Our favourite moment is always that first glance down when you hit the water, seeing a dark cloud of hundreds of hammerheads circling below you. It’s primal. Reef Shepherd's guides have an uncanny knack for putting you in the right spot at the right time. They’ll also remind you that those currents can be fierce, so hold tight and trust the lead. This is an advanced trip, truly, and Reef Shepherd caters to divers who understand that.
