Los Órganos · Piura · Perú
Recreational diving and marine research on Peru's tropical north coast — where the Humboldt Current meets equatorial water and life explodes.
— 10 m
Five sites between Punta Sal and El Ñuro, minutes from our port in Los Órganos. Pick a point on the chart.
The natural classroom — calm, shallow and full of life
The artisanal pier's pilings host an artificial reef: resident green turtles, pufferfish, blennies and sea stars. Ideal for first dives and courses.

The north's best dive: a protected steel reef
An oil platform turned reef with 80+ species and a sea-lion colony. Declared a special protection area in 2025. In season you can hear whale song underwater.

The long run into warmer water
Inside the reserve

The cold Humboldt Current converging with equatorial water concentrates over 70% of Peru's marine species here. Meet some of the neighbours you'll see with us.
Chelonia mydas · Tortuga verde
The only sea turtle that is mainly herbivorous as an adult; a resident colony at the El Nuro pier feeds daily alongside the local fishermen.

Megaptera novaeangliae · Ballena jorobada
It migrates over 6,000 km from Antarctic waters to breed off northern Peru from July to October; males sing long, complex songs.

Rhincodon typus · Tiburón ballena
The largest fish on Earth, growing past 12 m. Each shark's spot pattern is unique, like a fingerprint, and it visits northern Peru from June to November.
Jun–Nov · en route to Punta Sal
Mobula birostris · Manta gigante
The world's largest ray, spanning up to 7 m; the Peru–Ecuador population is the largest known, estimated at more than 22,000 individuals.

Otaria flavescens · Lobo marino chusco
Adult males grow a thick lion-like mane and can top 300 kg, more than double a female's weight; in Peru the species is known as the "lobo chusco".

Muraena lentiginosa · Morena pinta
Nocturnal and fierce-looking, it opens and closes its mouth just to breathe; its range reaches its southern limit at Peru's Lobos de Afuera Islands.
Vichayito Reefs
Octopus mimus · Pulpo (pulpo común del Perú)
Peru's most important commercial octopus: it hunts crabs and molluscs by night and hides in plain sight by day, changing both skin color and texture.

Chromolaichma sedna · Babosa de mar sedna
Named for Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea; its yellow-and-red margins warn predators of chemical defenses drawn from the sponges it eats.

Scorpaena mystes · Pez diablo (escorpión moteado del Pacífico)
An ambush predator that mimics algae-covered rock; it periodically sheds its outer skin layer to stay clean, and its fin spines are venomous.

Epinephelus labriformis · Murique (mero murique)
A rocky-reef ambush hunter ranging from Baja California to northern Peru; its scattered white spots earn it the name starry grouper. Reaches about 60 cm.
MX-1 · Punta Sal

Panulirus gracilis · Langosta verde
It lacks claws, defending itself with spiny antennae and a rasping squeak made by rubbing them; it hides in rocky crevices by day and forages at night.

Labrisomus philippii · Trambollo
One of the largest blennies of the southeast Pacific, it reaches about 25 cm and ambushes crabs and snails among rocks and pier pilings from Peru to Chile.

adaptive diving
Fran is a certified IAHD instructor — the international association for diving with people with disabilities. That means adaptive diving here isn't a favour or an exception: it's a programme with standards, training and its own team.
Your first breath underwater with as much support as you need. No experience or certification required.
Being in the water with the turtles without scuba gear, with surface support.
From confined water to open water (to 20 m), with the partner level that matches your autonomy in the water.
Dive Partner for certified divers, and Surface Support for family and friends — whether or not you dive.
We launch from artisanal piers with stairs and from small boats, so we cannot promise independent wheelchair access to the water today. What we do is plan each trip with you before you travel — how many companions in the water, how you enter and exit, adapted equipment and timings — and tell you honestly what is possible at each site.
Tell us what support you need when booking, or message us and we'll talk it through with no commitment. Nobody has to explain their body in a form.
Let's talk— 34 m
Three people, one boat, and many hours of bottom time. Full bios (and their Instagrams) very soon.
Guiding & training
The water is her language: she guides every trip with calm, a sharp eye, and endless patience for beginners.

Founder & operations
Between the sea and the systems: if something runs well at Organos Blue — from the compressor to this website — it probably passed through his hands.

The one who always knows where the life is: eagle eyes underwater and guaranteed good humour on the boat.

Every Organos Blue Dive Center trip is also a research platform: our guides log sightings, photograph individuals, and feed a scientific database on the Mar Tropical de Grau — the national reserve created in 2024 to protect these waters.
We dive by the reserve's rules and wildlife-approach distances, work with El Ñuro's fishing community, and soon you'll be able to contribute your own photos and sightings as a citizen-scientist diver.
living record
Every surveyed dive leaves a record of which species turned up. This isn't a gallery — it's the data as it was written down underwater.
