Depth Note
Working depth range is around 30-34 m, with exact depth varying by tide and measurement point.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay outside the structure, keep trim tight if silt reduces visibility, and plan a conservative ascent with enough gas reserve.
Access Restrictions
Best dived with a local operator and appropriate certification; it is not an entry-level wreck.
Legal Notes
The site sits in Chubut's managed tourism-subaquatic framework; follow local operator and Prefectura guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Certified divers with strong buoyancy control are the right fit. Nitrox can help stretch time on the structure, but the dive should stay external and conservative.
