South America Dive Shop, Liveaboard & Dive Site Reviews

Diving in South America has it all, some of the best dive sites in the world at an affordable price for all levels of divers. Venezuela is a great example of an untouched diving gem delivering coral reefs, mangroves and beautiful coloured flora and fauna thanks to grassy sea beds. The more well-known Brazil dive spot Arraial do Cabo Marine Reserve is considered the best scuba diving on the southern coast with aqua waters rich in marine life, from turtles to moray eels.

The pristine waters surrounding the Galapagos islands offer up to 30 dive sites where you'll be alongside sea turtles, manta rays, penguins, sea lions, dolphins, hammerheads and whale sharks. The abundance of fauna and excellent visibility in shallow Chilean waters make it a great dive spot for marine photography, whilst lava formations can be explored at Easter Island's Hanga Roa which also features giant coral up to 6 metres wide.
