Pacific Divers

Lima & Palomino Islands, Peru

Diving in Lima isn't exactly a tropical escape, but Pacific Divers on the Palomino Islands offers a genuinely unique experience. We've spent time here, and what really stands out is the chance to get up close with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of sea lions. The water is cold, often green, and visibility can be temperamental, but when a curious sea lion zips past your mask, all that fades away. This PADI 5 Star IDC centre is perfect for those keen on training or just wanting to tick off a truly different kind of wildlife encounter. It’s a great choice if you’re already in Lima and want to add an unusual dive day to your itinerary, rather than making it your sole dive destination.
