Cumberland Bay Snorkel & Dive: World-Class Endemic Marine Life

Plunge into the crystalline waters of Cumberland Bay inside the Juan Fernández Archipelago National Park — one of the Pacific's most biodiverse and least-dived marine environments, home to endemic fish found nowhere else on Earth.

What to expect

The waters of Cumberland Bay are startlingly clear, with visibility frequently exceeding 20 metres. South American fur seals are curious and playful companions underwater, often swooping within arm's reach. Endemic Juan Fernández grouper and a kaleidoscope of unique reef fish inhabit the rocky seabed. For certified divers, deeper walls reveal extraordinary endemic invertebrate life. All equipment is provided by the operator to expedition standard.
