El bosque submergido - Puerto Madryn
El Bosque Submergido offers a unique dive experience, exploring a sunken forest of petrified trees. It’s a surreal landscape, where ancient wood forms an unusual backdrop for marine life. We’ve seen quite a few local fish species navigating the gnarled branches. This site is definitely one for divers looking for something a bit different from your typical reef.
