Chile is seen by most Chileans as being the remotest part
of the Earth. A beautiful country, with the magical Andes mountain range
on
one side and a 6,435 km coastline on the other of this stretched
country.
It is no wonder that Chilean gastronomy includes a large array of fish
and
seafood, and, that there are a lot of divesites to be discovered.
He Tai Diving's mission is to promote sustainable diving in Chile for
Chileans and foreigners alike.
Chile is not a classic diving destination because most people, and a lot
of
divers, still think that diving is a warm water activity only. As a
result
they're missing out on some of the most interesting diving that's out
there.
Also, before He Tai it was difficult, if not impossible to take a dive
course in Chile unless you spoke Spanish well.
We offer diving excursions in the central coast of Chile and PADI
courses
from Open Water diver to Divemaster in English, Dutch and Spanish.
Chile is home to some of the best cold water diving in the world.
Visibility
is usually between 10 and 20 meters, and although the water is cold, the
air
temperature is normally between 20 and 30°C (60-86°F) which makes for a
nice
pre- and post dive warm up.
Diving in Chile is soft-coral, sponges, sea stars, sea-lions, crabs,
fish
and shrimps and shipwrecks. The water temperature changes little during
the
year staying in between 11 and 14°C (52-57°F), so diving is a year round
activity.
Diving in Chile is about spending a good time in and near the water,
discovering what is out there and enjoying diving
