Islas Los Ahorcados

Islas Los Ahorcados, just off Isla de la Plata, is one of those places that genuinely surprises you. We've always found the visibility here to be better than expected, often pushing 15-20 meters on a good day, especially in the late morning. It’s a series of rocky islets that drop down, creating channels and small overhangs, giving you plenty to explore. What really gets us excited about Los Ahorcados is the sheer density of fish. We're talking about huge schools of barberfish and surgeonfish that just swirl around you, almost blocking out the sun at times. Keep an eye on the bottom for those rarer finds; we've spotted Pacific Fat Sleepers tucked into crevices and even a Chilean Angel Shark resting on the sand – a real treat. We also love looking for the Hawksbill Turtles here, often just cruising by. This site is a great pick for divers who appreciate a busy, lively reef and don't mind a little current to keep things interesting.
