Tosquera La Saladita, near Mar del Plata, offers a different kind of dive for those exploring Argentina's coast. It’s an old quarry, now flooded, creating a freshwater environment quite distinct from the nearby ocean sites. Visibility can vary, but we've found it a good spot for honing buoyancy skills or testing new gear in calmer conditions. Think of it as a convenient local training ground rather than a biodiverse spectacle.
