About Gallinazo
Gallinazo is an exposed boat dive off Pucusana for advanced divers who can commit to a quick entry and immediate descent. The site is a kelp-forest wall and ledge profile with rocky structure and inshore marine life, so it feels more like an open-water working dive than a sheltered bay dive. Plan it with a local operator and a calm-weather window because the sea can hit the site directly.

Source guides conflict on the cap: one lists 11 m while another describes the wall from about 8 m into the mid-20s. Use the deeper range as a conservative planning ceiling rather than a guaranteed profile.
