Plongée à Easter Island (Rapa Nui) — Chile
Easter Island sits 3,700 km from the Chilean mainland in the most remote inhabited waters on Earth, with visibility exceeding 60 metres in volcanic-blue seas. A submerged replica moai statue serves as an iconic dive site, while volcanic caves and arches harbour endemic species found nowhere else. The isolation and Polynesian Rapa Nui culture make this a once-in-a-lifetime destination.
