Full Description
Experience an introductory scuba dive in the coastal reefs of Golfo Nuevo alongside a specialized instructor with full diving equipment in Puerto Madryn
Discover the underwater secrets of Patagonia with an introductory scuba diving experience in the waters of Golfo Nuevo, renowned for its rich subaquatic ecosystems. Departing from the central coast of Puerto Madryn toward nearby reefs, you will enjoy a personalized dive guided hand-in-hand by a specialized instructor who will safely lead you down to approximately ten meters deep to closely admire the biodiversity and marine life of the Atlantic coast.
Before entering the sea, you will receive a detailed instructional briefing covering underwater breathing with an oxygen tank, pressure equalization techniques, and basic hand signals for underwater communication. The activity requires no prior experience or swimming skills and includes all standard gear consisting of a neoprene wetsuit, mask, fins, and tank, with the optional possibility of renting a drysuit at the destination at an extra cost, ideal during winter or for those seeking greater thermal insulation.
Please note that this is a moderate-difficulty activity requiring physical mobility in the water and prior verification of age and physical condition, with mandatory adult supervision for minors. The service does not include hotel transfers, so you must go directly to the meeting point bringing a towel, swimwear or underwear, and a change of clothes, keeping in mind that marine wildlife lives in freedom and sightings are not guaranteed.
