Hi there

There is nothing special about shore diving in those countries But if you can extend your budget I recommend you to take a flight from Quito to Galapagos islands (about 350-400$) and dive with the daily boats You won´t regret it. Its amazing !! but if you want to ,experience some serious dives check the prices of the live-abroad you may find good last minute deals. You can also try a live-abroad option at Colombia to Malpelo island, P.S You have to be an experienced diver to dive this sites, because the currents are very strong, and there are a lot of sharks Biko

Hi there again

Let´s do it one country at the time: Peru: There is no place to dive there and there are no dive operators there at all. And believe me I´ve looked hard ... If by a chance you meet someone with tanks, weights and so on there (you can also use Peru Divers from Lima, 441-3282), the only place worth diving is the Paracas peninsula, leaving Pisco or Ica. Ecuador: Besides the fact thats the Galapagos Islands (diver´s Mecca) are Ecuadorian, and you get there by a flight from either Quito or Guayaquil, there is almost no other place worth diving in Ecuador. If you really miss it you can use a dive shop from Guayaquil (nothing in Quito, it´s only 2900 meters above sea level ...) and dive near the border with Peru. But if you can afford it - don´t miss the Galapagos Colombia: Good news, the diving on the Caribbean and the Pacific coasts are really nice. You can dive from Cartagena, Santa Marta, Taganga (near Santa Marta), San Andres, Providencia, Islas De San Bernardo (near Sucre), Isla Fuerte, Capurgana and Bahia Solano. You can find many dive shops in Cartagena and Santa Marta. You can find information on www.scubadiving.com in their world travel section. If you have the chance, dive in Panama and off course Cocos (Costa Rica). Those places really worth the trip, especially Cocos. But, anyway, Colombia diving is quite nice.

And again

A little bird has told me that there is a diving shop in Ica (Peru) in order to dive the Paracas peninsula. So, if you want to try the "poor man´s Galapagos" in the underwater world as well, you can give it a try.
