Diving off the shores of Ushuaia
In Argentine Patagonia, live the adventure of exploring the underwater universe in the Beagle Channel.
Would you like to discover the landscapes that await you under the southernmost sea in the continent? In the province of Tierra del Fuego, put on your diving suit, fit your helmet, and jump into the depths of the Beagle Channel, there where the Atlantic Ocean merges into the Pacific. Can you imagine the treasures that lie in these sub-Antarctic waters? Dive down there and find them, as you enjoy swimming among the sunbeams that pierce this transparent world.
Explore underwater forests. Watch jelly fish and king crabs, sea urchins and starfish, crabs and snails. Find gigantic algae that are up to 30 meters long. Did you know that these waters hide the remains of old shipwrecks? Discover traces of the Monte Cervantes, a transatlantic that sank here in 1930. And if you want to dive for the first time, here you’ll have options to enjoy a diving baptism. Live it all at the southern end of Patagonia.
