RESKIU S.A.C. - Lima & Palomino Islands

RESKIU S.A.C. operates out of Lima, offering trips primarily to the Palomino Islands. The main draw here is the chance to dive or snorkel with the resident sea lion colony. Expect cooler water, often with limited visibility, but the sheer number of playful sea lions makes it a unique experience, especially for those who want something different from a typical reef dive. It’s a good option for a quick dive fix if you’re already in Lima.
