Shallow dock-side shore dive with sandy bottom
Muelle Minka Mar is a shallow shore dive beside a dock in Pucusana, with a sandy bottom and broken-shell patches that keep the profile simple and forgiving. It suits beginner-friendly training dives and night dives when local conditions are calm, but short visibility and dock activity make tight buddy spacing important.

Scuba Diving
Shallow sandy dock site that stays beginner-friendly, but short visibility and dock activity call for compact buddy spacing and a light.
Freediving
Possible only on very calm, clear days and with local confirmation; the site is better known as a scuba profile.
Snorkeling
Not a strong snorkel choice because visibility is usually short-range and the dock area needs careful entry planning.
