The Abyss

This site is frequented by sea lions and otters. Large fish (Peje Perro). It's good for beginners if they don't wander off. The name comes from a feeling one gets once diving the wall, with the lushious kelp and the sandy bottom at 105 Ft, combined with the good visibility, when you cross a channel, you will get vertigo. Just ensure you change position with your buddy, or keep each other in sight. At the point past the abyss, you can continue your dive inside the 2 meter tall kelp jungle. Life in it is breathtaking. Keep an eye on you time....lots to get side tracked on. From Antofagasta drive towards Juan Lopez. Go around Cerro Moreno to the Isla de Santa Maria. At the turn off to Caleta Constitucion, go left, south, past the scallop farm, soth and go up a 50 meter narrow steep (4x4 needed) trail up the hill and follow the lava flows and trails. Nead west. This also was called "Spot #2", one of three spots close to each other. Follow your GPS to the spot. You can back into the dive place quite close. You'll recognize it by the long channel. The Abyss is also known as El Abismo, Spot #2.
