Vivir Buceando Patagonia

Vivir Buceando Patagonia is the only PADI diving centre in Comodoro Rivadavia and the southernmost in Argentina, based in Puerto Madryn. No prior experience is necessary — you can have your first diving experience here, guided at every step by a team of three PADI instructors along the beauties of the Atlantic.

Sea lions, courses and Patagonian marine life

Diving with sea lions is a safe, easy and fun activity for everyone, and if you've never dived, a special program teaches you to snorkel freely among them after an underwater practice session in the sea. The waters here are rich in life, from right, fin and sei whales to dolphins, penguins, sea lions and countless fish — a sport the whole family can enjoy.

For certified divers returning to the water, the PADI ReActivate Scuba Refresher runs from USD 165 and takes about one hour. The centre offers an onsite training pool and classroom, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, house reef and dive boat, with instruction available in English and Spanish.
