Maldonado

Maldonado is an administrative region on the Uruguayan coast facing the South Atlantic. The region’s diving is centered around the Atlantic-facing coastline and nearby coastal waters in the Rio de la Plata estuary area. Access hubs include Maldonado town and nearby beaches, with dive sites anchored near the shore and a few offshore options in the Atlantic. Typical conditions are warm to temperate waters with moderate visibility and marine life common to temperate South Atlantic environments. The region is suitable for recreational divers seeking coastal dives and easy access from urban centers in the department.
