About Chelonia Dive Center
Chelonia Dive Center is a PADI 5-Star dive center in Los Órganos, in the heart of Peru's Tropical Pacific Sea just south of Máncora. Founded in 2018 by a diving instructor and a marine biologist, it blends professional PADI training with genuine marine-science expertise, giving every dive a strong conservation and education focus.
The center offers expert-guided one-day dive tours to the best local sites, including the renowned dive spots around the Los Órganos pier, along with the full range of PADI courses from entry-level Discover Scuba through Open Water and up to professional ratings, plus a selection of PADI specialties. Small groups and a biologist-led approach mean divers learn about the reef ecosystems, sea turtles and marine life they encounter as they go.
The waters off Los Órganos are warm and rich in life, with sea turtles, seahorses, rays, tropical fish and seasonal visitors drawing divers year-round. Chelonia's combination of a marine-biology foundation, PADI 5-Star standards and an intimate, personalised style has earned it consistently strong reviews and a loyal following among divers exploring northern Peru.
