Banco Chiguao
Banco Chiguao is one of the more talked-about sites in Puerto Madryn, though it's less a coral reef and more a series of rock formations covered in colorful anemones and sponges. You’ll usually find sea lions curious about divers here, often coming in close for a look. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, usually with moderate currents, suiting newer divers or those looking for a laid-back experience. Visibility can be a bit variable, depending on the season and recent weather.
