This fascinating sport is a new alternative if you dare dive in this cold place with a variety of submarine sceneries.  

Diving should be planned between March and December, when Ushuaia presents optimum conditions, since solar activity is not so intense and permits a visibility of more than 15 meters.

Due to the water temperature between 0 °C and 4 °C it becomes necessary to wear a dry suit that you should learn to wear before immersion for a safer and more comfortable dive.

There are daily diving outings from different points leaving from Ushuaia port in some of the ships of Ushuaia Divers.

The selection of the diving spot depends on the direction of the wind, predominantly from the south west, and of the best anchoring conditions.

Navigating to the islands is very pleasant, since bays never freeze and you will be accompanied by the birds and delighted by the green tones of the islands.

The shape of the mountains determine their names and makes them easily recognized.

The automatic pilot allows the captain of the ship to share his diving experiences with inexperienced divers.

There are different diving places wether you navigate to the east or to the west.

If you go west you can dive from the coast in Round Island in Ensenada bay 20 m. from the coast or from Cucharita port.

The submarine landscape in this area looks like a submerged forest formed by big algae.

These dives never surpass the 12 meters and you can see the dazzling rays of the sun playing with these immense plants.

To the east it is only possible to go by boat. They usually dive around the islands near the port, which are rich in life and visibility.

Bridges Islands, named after the first family on the island, are the most frequented ones with their beautiful cliffs. There you can dive in points such as Puerto Karelo, Canalcito and Iturrieta.

In Karelo the operator built a small shelter on the coast where divers share an "asado" after the immersion.

This is the most beautiful place in a channel between two isles, where life is more abundant because the water movement produces more activity of species.  

Among the algae there is always some spider crab, and if you watch closely in every corner you will surely discover a colorful sponge, a starfish or a globefish.

White sponges glinging to the walls seem to recreate the snow outside.

In this area it is ideal to dive at a depth of 20 meters.

After this exciting experience you return to Ushuaia, with the satisfaction of having dived in the end of the world.
