El Acuario (The Aquarium)

The Aquarium is where Malpelo shows off sheer biomass rather than any single species. Leather bass, grouper, and creole fish smother the terraces; jacks and snapper school so thickly over the boulders that the rock disappears and reappears with the current's pulse. Whitetips lie in ranks in every trench, morays thread between them, and the sanctuary's headline sharks - silkies and Galapagos sharks near the surface, hammerheads deeper - transit constantly because at Malpelo there is nowhere they do not transit. As the closest thing the island has to a gentle dive, it usually opens a trip, recalibrating what a diver considers a fishy site.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Overwhelming fish density, whitetips stacked in trenches, sharks in constant transit

टोपोग्राफी: Boulder terraces and rock faces alive with encrusting growth

करंट: Among the more sheltered corners of an unsheltered island; still expect flow and surge.

खतरे: Surge near the rock, current at the exposed ends.

संरक्षण: Sanctuary rules apply; the no-take zone around Malpelo is among the largest in the eastern Pacific.

Nitrox: यहाँ उपयोगी: प्रोफ़ाइलें उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop time को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
