Wild Life

Wild Life at Malpelo isn't for the faint-hearted, but for those who make the journey, it’s a dive that sticks with you. We’ve found the currents here can be utterly relentless, often requiring negative entries and a quick drop to the protection of the rock face. But push through that initial rush and you’ll find yourself in a world of serious pelagic action. Think huge schools of olive chromis, a swirling, silver cloud that ripples with every subtle shift in the water. We always keep a keen eye out for the slender parrotfish here, they seem particularly abundant, along with the occasional greenblotch parrotfish. What makes Wild Life a standout for us isn't just the sheer number of fish, it's the raw, untamed energy of the place. You're fully exposed to the open ocean, and you feel it in your bones. We’ve often seen blackfish cruising by, and the occasional graceful sight of a turtle in the blue. This site suits experienced divers who are comfortable in strong currents and want to witness the wild heart of Malpelo.
