Trilogia

Trilogia. Just the name sounds grand, and honestly, it often delivers. This site isn't always the main event at Malpelo, but we think it’s a brilliant way to ease into the big stuff, or sometimes, it’s just the best spot when the currents are going wild elsewhere. What makes it special? The sheer density of some of the smaller residents. We love watching the Blennies darting in and out of the rockwork, especially the Redlips and the little Spinyheads. If you get a calmer day, you can really take your time and pick out the Olive Chromis schooling in the blue, or a Pearl Blenny peeking out from its hole. It’s not about the hammerheads here, though you might get a fly-by. Trilogia is for divers who appreciate the intricate details. We've spent solid bottom time here just watching the Spotted Soapfish doing their thing, or spotting a well-camouflaged Eyed Flounder. The Boulder Brain Coral provides plenty of nooks and crannies for the smaller stuff to hide. It's a fantastic site for macro enthusiasts or anyone who needs a moment to slow down after the adrenaline of Malpelo's other heavy hitters. Keep an eye out for Sammy Johnson, if you can find him.
