About this dive site

This dive site features the Indus 8, a shipwreck originating from the Quintay whaling fleet. This vessel presents an exciting underwater exploration opportunity for experienced divers. The wreck lies on the seabed and offers a chance to investigate a historic maritime artifact. Visibility is likely good, though specific conditions can vary. Due to its status as a sunken ship, penetration may be required, suggesting this dive could be considered intermediate or advanced depending on diver experience and comfort levels with confined spaces. It’s important to note that the exact depth of the Indus 8 isn't specified, but it is likely deeper than 12 meters. The best time to visit would depend on local current conditions, as they can significantly impact the dive.
