For if this was little and to accompany to the nature, in the Isla de las Gallinas make a a novel subacuátic museumwith figures fitted in trunks of more than 3 meters high.
A fascinating adventure in Bariloche, in the beautiful Patagonia Argentina for the lovers of the submarine life.
The National Park Nahuel Huapi is an area of great ecological value where its landscapes combine the thirsty plateau patagónica with the incredible forests represented by cohiues, arrayanes, cypress and lengas.
In the heart of the Park, the Lake Nahuel Huapi, formerly inhabited in their margins for tribes of Araucanian, it spreads their candies waters along 76 km.de extension.
On this lake legends, myths and fantastic stories have grown.
But until the moment the only reality is that the only encounters that continue happening have to do with the wonderful submarine landscapes that are left to see low their transparent waters.
The city of San Carlos from Bariloche is the starting point toward the diving places that have its time of splendor of November to April.
The lake is at 765m on the level of the sea with what is carried out a diving of height. The charts modify 10% but in each depth for a bigger margin of security. That is to say that a diving of 30 meters is planned like one of 33 meters.
In the lake Nahuel Huapi inhabits autochthonous species as the Creole trout and the perch and also other families of fish introduced as the salmon or the trout rainbow and Brown.
In turn these species feed of small crabs, and of other very small aquatic animals. Dispersed by the sandy funds they are come quantity of mussels.
The low landscape the water in the different areas is presented among submerged forests, funds of sand or big rocky walls.
But to cover all the divings in a single exit the best option it is The Island of the Hens.
It is the most complete point, ideal for baptisms, nocturne, or deep and the only one that combines the three landscapes in oneself journey.
It has the great advantage of being to only 2 km. of the coast with what you arrives in 30 minutes of sailing, and of being a completely repaired area of the winds. Contrary to other places The island of the Hens is still buceable in days of surf and wind.
The craft ties to a rock wall avoiding all contact with the bottom.
The waters reach a visibility of until 22 meters, and the temperature in these times is of approximately 10° and 12°.
The constant work of ASAP, the diving operator, to improve the places of to carry out this sport, made create a park artificial subacuático, to add to the funds more an attractiveness.
They have placed under the water and to 15 meters deep the silhouette carved in a trunk of pine of the God of the Sea Neptune of more than 3 meters high.
The figure weighs 2 tons and it could be anchored with a weight of 300 kg.
To few meters it is also possible to enter and to be located in a seat of a cable car of one of the hills that was sunken so that the divers can be photographed comfortably seated.
The immersion is of two tanks. The first journey leaves of the bay and is carried out for a beach of sand of low depth, then you
it continues descending for a wall chiseled by the glaciers that falls until reaching the 30 meters, this it is the maximum depth to which you dives and the one that coincides with the location of the buoy that defines the diving area.
As you advances in depth, the funds are oozier. Then the journey continues skirting the lateral wall of rock and to a depth 15 meters is the gondola of the cable car where the divers leave locating in an and another very amusing way.
To continue surprising the divers while they go traveling smaller depths, a small submerged forest of arrayanes trunks and algae that it reaches an incomparable beauty exists when the sun plays among their fine forms.
As we move away from the wall the silts they become finer and they already allow to sight at the distance the imposing image of Neptune.
This is an obligatory stop to be able to contemplate it from all the angles or to obtain some picture.
The interesting thing is that to the sphinx it can rotate it to accommodate it to the rays of light.
After a surface interval the second diving of smaller depth takes us to the channel of the perches very near the Neptune.
Among the two divings is carried out an extensive journey walking for the island in the areas allowed by National Parks. The divers are the only ones privileged that they can make it because this island is not part of any other trip in Bariloche.
There also a very pleasant lunch is shared and always in a panoramic point from where you leave the whole city.
Meanwhile the islands and the hills are reflected in the meek waters of the Lake Nahuel Huapi, perhaps they also want to submerge... |
