By Diving: Comments Off

2 Of the 14 areas of underwater tourism that are in Puerto Madryn, were created with a difference of 4 months. At the end of 2017, a Chinese fishing vessel that had been caught when fishing illegally in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Argentina sank. The boat HU SHUN YU 809 known in the nautical environment as “El Chino” measures 226 ft ( 69 m ) in length and is sunk at 105 ft ( 32 m ) depth, 3.000 ft ( 900 m ) from the coast. This dive excursion is suitable for advanced level and above. Just ten minutes of navigation this wreck is ideal for technical diving or deep diving.

Two must-see options for underwater adventure tourism offered by Peninsula Valdes for diving enthusiasts. And while there are several dive operators, and all very good and responsible, when I came to live in the area more than 20 years ago I worked in one of them and I feel a special affection for Aquatours diving that by the way, gave us these photos to dedicate an article to these new submarine parks.
