LEISURE AND
SPORTS DIVING
How to resist this thrilling activity, the unexplored clear blue sea inhabited
by unique fauna, the skill of top instructors. This new world is available
to people of all ages in Chubut's Puerto Pirámides and especially
in Puerto Madryn, Argentina's Diving Capital. Enjoy "bautismos submarinos",
diving excursions to underwater parks for beginners, an exciting experience
that the various diving agencies offer groups and individuals, together
with the necessary equipment.
For experienced divers there are special "diving packages",
including sailing tours of more than one day.
THE FIRST DIVE
The feeling of the first dive cannot be put into words. Still, it is important
that you observe all previous instructions and go through an adaptation
period on the underwater park platforms, so that you achieve a regular,
paused breathing and learn to compensate for the arising pressure difference.
Then, just give in to the magic of the underwater world. You will obtain
a first-time-divers's certificate, and will certainly want to repeat the
challenge.
WHEN TO DIVE
Diving agencies offer their service throughout the year, though excursion
are subject to climate and sea conditions.
