Bajo el Cerro de la Cruz

Bajo el Cerro de la Cruz in Zapallar is an advanced dive site beneath the prominent hillside cross landmark on the Chilean coast. The underwater terrain features steep rocky walls and boulder fields dropping into deeper water, with the Humboldt Current creating demanding conditions with strong surge and variable visibility. Dense kelp forests cloak the upper walls while the deeper sections reveal large lobsters, predatory fish, and complex invertebrate communities. Experienced divers are rewarded with one of Zapallar's most diverse and atmospheric underwater environments.
