Abramar Buceo
SSI center in Puerto Madryn
Puerto Madryn, Chubut
Try dives, full training and snorkeling with sea lions at Punta Loma. It describes itself as the only center in Patagonia that trains SSI instructors.
Diving
Propósito Azul started as my dive school. I am still a certified SSI instructor, but code and science projects take up my time. I do not run regular courses: if you want to learn or keep diving, write to one of these seven schools run by friends, who make their living from the water every day.
