Best for intermediate divers, 6-10m, shore entry, strong current.
Boyas Blancas is a shallow shore-entry freshwater dive site in Argentina, with depths ranging from 6 to 10 metres. The site is defined by a strong, consistent current that requires proficient buoyancy control and situational awareness. Visibility is limited to approximately 5 metres, necessitating close-range observation of the reef structure. Divers should be prepared for cold water conditions and are advised to use adequate thermal protection. Due to the current and low visibility, this site is best suited for intermediate divers. The habitat supports general freshwater fish and invertebrates typical of the region. Always plan entry and exit points carefully in relation to the shifting current and maintain a surface marker buoy.

The strong current can shift direction and intensity, so plan your entry and exit around it rather than against it, and always keep your surface marker buoy ready for a free ascent if needed. Cold water and low visibility make a good wetsuit and torch useful even on daytime dives.
