Dique Segunda Usina is a freshwater site located in Embalse Río Tercero, Argentina. Divers and snorkellers access the water from the shore. The site features depths ranging from 15 to 32 metres, with visibility typically between 5 and 15 metres. A thermocline is present, resulting in a noticeable temperature shift during descent. Due to the significant depth, divers must manage decompression limits and the risk of nitrogen narcosis. Conditions can vary, and local support is not guaranteed, so divers should plan profiles conservatively. The site is suitable for beginners, though the depth requires careful attention to experience levels.
