Hi everybody!!

I just found this forum and it's COOL. It's great to see how many people enjoy this wonderfool sport in the world and it's even better to see that you can talk to them and share your experiences.

I'm from Chile, Southamerica and we have a wonderfull sea with many excelent and diferent sites to dive. I love to take underwater pictures and I hope to share them with you.

My natural language is spanish, so be kind about my english.

Hi there McEPE,
Welcome to the board. Now I need you to tell me where to dive in Chile! But I will be there in July, so maybe it will be too cold!!

Hi froop,

In central area of Chile you have many sites. The most known are: Quintay, Zapallar, Papudo, Los Molles and Pichidangui, all about 200KM from Santiago.

We will be in the middle of winter on July, and the temperature is about 11ºC at that sites. Not too cold for us. But if you want to dive, you can rent suits that work perfect with that temperature.

If you will come here, just let me know when and we can arrange some good dives.

Very similar climate to here in Melbourne - in winter water is around 11ºC - 12ºC. A 7mm will do just fine for me. I'll check up those places on a map and see if I can fit them into the trip!

If you will come here, just let me know when and we can arrange some good dives.

We're flying into Lima on the 10th of June, hitting the Amazon for a couple days, up to the Inca Trail then across to Bolivia towards the end of June. Then make our way down to Santiago to fly out on the 22nd of July, if possible fitting in a day or two of snow skiing, and a day or two of diving.

Let me know when you are sure.
