La Nevera (The Fridge)

La Nevera earns its nickname the moment a thermocline rolls through and the temperature drops several degrees in a fin kick - and with the cold water come the hammerheads. This northern corner of Malpelo works as a cleaning complex: scalloped hammerheads circle in from the blue to hover over the outcrops while barberfish and king angelfish pick them clean, and on strong days the circling singles become schools. Silky sharks ride the warm layer above, Galapagos sharks patrol mid-water, and free-swimming morays - a Malpelo signature - cross open rock in daylight. It is raw, cold-shot, big-animal diving with nothing decorative about it.

您此行的高光时刻: Hammerheads at the cleaning stations, thermocline shark pulses, daylight free-swimming morays

地形地貌: Rock ridges and cleaning-station outcrops off the island's northern end

水流: The name honors the cold pulses that ride the current onto the site - the sharks arrive with them.

危险因素: Cold pulses, strong current, surge against bare rock, and total remoteness.

保育: Sanctuary of Fauna and Flora Malpelo; permitted vessels only, no anchoring, no landings.

高氧（Nitrox）: 在此值得使用：这些潜点的深度范围内，富氧空气（nitrox）能有效延长免减压停留时间，前提是您已接受相关培训。
