Bajo Chagua - Puerto Madryn
Bajo Chagua offers a look at the cooler water reefs off Puerto Madryn. This site doesn't typically wow with huge pelagics, but for divers interested in the more subtle beauty of South American coral, it’s a good choice. Expect to find plenty of smaller critters tucked into the coral formations. It's a solid dive for those who appreciate macro life and a quieter pace.
