Isla de la Plata
Diving along the coast of Machalilla National Park is an unforgettable experience you simply can’t miss! You’ll have the chance to explore beautiful coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, sea turtles, starfish, moray eels, lobsters, and a wide variety of marine species.
Your adventure begins in the morning as you board the boat heading to the first dive site. Along the way, you may witness one of nature’s most spectacular displays—the courtship dance of humpback whales (seasonal).
Upon arrival, your guide will provide a brief introduction about local currents and safety guidelines before you begin your first dive. Get ready to immerse yourself in this incredible underwater world!
After your first immersion, you’ll enjoy a light snack and some time to relax before preparing for your second dive.
Each dive lasts approximately 45 minutes, depending on your certification level. If you are a discovery diver or have no prior diving experience, the dive duration will be around 30 minutes.
At the end of the experience, you will return to Puerto López.
