Snorkeling with sea lions is a unique experience, which can only be done in a regulated way in very few places in the world. The reserve is located 15 km from Puerto Madryn. The wetsuit keeps you afloat, so you don't need any extra device. Once in the water, it is the sea lions who approach and propose the interaction: we adapt as spectators. Includes previous instruction, full equipment and warm jacket.

The service is conducted on an 8 meter boat equipped and prepared for recreational diving. The passengers get ready to embark from the beach already equipped with the neoprene wetsuit. The navigations (according to the dive site defined by the captain depending on the group and the weather that day) can vary from 7 to 20 minutes. In all dives you will be accompanied by a guide of the company. Diving times are defined according to the plan and water temperature NAUFRAGES: Fishing vessel Albatros (site 7) The vessel "Albatros" is a fishing vessel of 30 mts. in length, it is at a depth of between 15 and 24 mts. approximately. In September 1998 the fishing vessel Albatros was intentionally sunk to build a recreational dive site. The underwater flora and fauna have found there an unbeatable place to develop, so it is in continuous increase. You need to be an advanced diver to be able to descend. Primavera Wooden fishing vessel, 18 meters long. Maximum depth 15 meters. It was a vessel dedicated to shrimp fishing in the Port of Rawson, which due to age was decommissioned and since September 2024 is submerged in the waters of the new gulf very close to the wreck Emma. Urabain (site 13) sunk on April 18, 2018, with 71 meters in length, this ship caught fire at the pier and then was donated by the company for diving excursions. It is located at 10 minutes of navigation, with a maximum depth of 25 mts. at high tide and 20 mts. at low tide. Miralles Shipwreck (site 11) In March 2004 the ship Antonio Miralles was sunk, with 70 mts. in length. It has wide internal spaces which allows a safe penetration to its bridge and engine room.

Naufragio Primavera: Sunk 8 September 2024. Maximum depth 14 mts. It was a small boat fishing for shrimp off the coast of Rawson. Diving with Sea Lions (site 12) I lived this new experience, diving with sea lions in the incredible scenery of the Punta Loma Natural Protected Area, in Puerto Madryn, Patagonia Argentina. As soon as we enter the water, the sea lions are curious and restless and appear around us. The instructions are to remain in a fixed position, letting them approach naturally. Little by little they approach and stand face to face in front of the mask and even let out a puff of air as if imitating our breathing. For approximately 45 minutes, you will be able to dive with sea lions in their natural environment. You can also live this experience in which you will also enjoy sailing for 25 minutes watching birds and other marine mammals.
