To dive in the lakes patagónicos constitutes a different and only experience. Living in San Martin from the Andes, and not having to travel more than four blocks to arrive to the coast of the lake Lácar, each invitation that make us to submerge take advantage.
This mirror of water of origin glaciario possesses a silver blue color that extends toward the west. Located inside the National Park Lanín, it is the first Argentinean lake that drains in the Ocean Pacific, through a basin of rivers that culminates in the proximities of Valdivia in Chile.
The visibility average in the lake is from 20 to 25 meters. The temperature of the water oscillates among 19 at 21°C in summer, for what is the warmest in the area. In winter the low temperature up to the 8°C.
In less than fifteen minutes we arrive in Ricardo's boat “Squirrel” Prone. On board, we arm the teams, the couples, the diving plan and one to one went hurtling to the temperate waters of the Lácar.
We look for our reference point and little by little we begin to descend. The idea was to give a turn around the island and to observe its stony conformation.
In front of the coast, it presented little depth, but as we went into toward the veril, the depth was more notorious and the “fall” more abrupt.
As an iceberg, but of rock, the island continued with its irregular form under the water. The fauna of this area this formed in their majority by river crabs Aegla that live in holes between the rocks and the trunks, and of those that feed the perches. In the bottom, the clams of fresh water prevail, well-known with the diplodos name. Our movements were slow, for if we had the possibility to sight some brown trout, rainbow, or with a lot of luck some fontinaris. This way, we would not scare her.
We dive between the 3 and the 20 meters. We observe absolutely everything and in less than that thought we finish the turn to the island. We return to the craft. Everything came out as we plan it.
Of return to the city, between jokes and anecdotes, we remember the lived moments hardly made some instants.
Still memory the dramatismo of the landscape subacuático, the endless silence, the cold felt in the depth and the desires that had of retarding my turn to the surface. For these and other so many reasons, I promised myself to return. |
