The beach

The Beach dive site near Antofagasta provides an easy shore entry for beginner divers along Chile's desert Pacific coast. A sandy bottom gives way to scattered rocky formations where Humboldt Current-fed marine life thrives. Divers can observe sea stars, hermit crabs, small blennies, and occasional octopus in the shallow reef areas. The calm, protected conditions and straightforward navigation make this an ideal first ocean dive or refresher location on the Antofagasta coastline.
