Location description: In Easter Island you may scuba in clean, clear, unpolluted seawater at a mild temperature of 22oC-26oC on average. You will discover an impressive volcanic seafloor covered with coral and graced by tropical fish in a natural charming, and mystic environment.
Easter Island is the most isolated island in the world due to its solitude in the middle of the Pacific Ocean a very unique undersea fauna and flora grows as a result of the rocky bottom and the coral reefs.
The origin of the island is volcanic, under the sea you can find amazing landscapes of huge cliffs, caves, arcs, rocks and lava platforms. It is a very unique landscape.
Although the temperature of the sea is over 24°C, you can find some coral species similar to those on other Polynesian islands. However these few species grow in a very amazing way. We can find formations of ``Porites Lobata`` with more than 16 ft of diameter located at the Hanga Roa bay at 60 ft of depth.
Another important issue is the clarity and transparency of the water that can reach over 200 ft. of visibility.
This clarity is due to low plankton levels and the absence of river, port, sewage system and industrial residue, it is easier to keep the water crystalline and clean.
The uniqueness of the undersea world of Easter Island or Rapa Nui can be expressed in one sentence: Outstanding ledges immersed in a big blue sea with coral and colorful tropical fish.
Due to its isolation, about 26 percent of the fish that live in the island are endemic; you can find these species only in these waters. The fauna of this island has more than 160 species distributed among 65 different families.
