About Parque Las Piedras
Parque Las Piedras is a shallow restinga dive off Puerto Madryn, with a rocky-sandy bottom, long submerged ledges, and a beginner-friendly profile. It works well for checkouts and first guided outings because the structure stays close to shore and the dive is shaped more by weather and water movement than by depth. The plan is a controlled Patagonian cold-water dive with simple terrain reading and steady reef scanning.
