Bariloche is a shore- and short-boat-based freshwater scuba destination, using Lago Moreno Este/Oeste and near-city Lago Nahuel Huapi. The municipality describes introductory dives, classes and certified-diver routes, while Ardilla Buceo currently advertises introductions and certified-diver outings. Expect rock, submerged logs, freshwater plants and occasional fish instead of coral reefs. Winter and shoulder-season diving are substantially colder; each site, guide authorization and actual trip date require direct confirmation.
