AccessOperator-arranged guided boat dive from Robinson Crusoe Island. Site choice and departure depend on certification, swell, wind and vessel judgment. No boat-to-site database relationship is created.
ExperienceAdvanced diver with Deep Diver certification as required by the operator; wreck penetration requires separate training, equipment and explicit authorization.
Maximum depthApproximately 36 m according to the current local operator.
Best seasonMost organized expeditions are scheduled in the austral summer and early autumn; local operations remain weather-dependent and dates must be confirmed.
VisibilityThe archipelago is known for clear water, but visibility changes with weather, swell, plankton and current.
