Ardilla
Why dive here
Ardilla is a dive in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Water ranges 10-19°C, warmest January, February, March.
Ardilla, just outside Puerto Madryn, is one of those sites that always leaves us smiling. It's a rocky reef, shallower at 10 meters and dropping to 20, absolutely covered in thick kelp. This is where you’ll usually find the Patagonian sea lions hanging out, zipping through the fronds, curious and playful. It’s a pretty mellow dive, nothing too challenging, perfect for spending some real quality time watching the kelp sway and those sea lions show off.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 12°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
