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.

Gallinazo Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
6m - 25m
Depth Note
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.
Best Season
Summer usually gives the steadiest boat-entry window and calmer surface conditions.
Typical Conditions
Open-water kelp forest with direct sea impact, limited shelter, and visibility that can compress quickly when the sea state builds.
