Diving Company Linked to Tourist's Disappearance in Puerto Madryn Continues Operations

Freediving Patagonia, the diving company hired by the tourist who disappeared in Puerto Madryn, presents itself on its social media as operators of diving and apnea who offer courses, along with discovery dives, snorkeling, and workshops. While the shock continues over the intense operations in the Chubut province city due to the disappearance of the 23-year-old woman during a dive, the company continues to operate and uses its social media to publicize the activities it offers. «We are diving and apnea operators in Puerto Madryn,» begins one of the company's posts on its Instagram account. The post adds that they offer Molchanovs and CMAS apnea courses, as well as PADI diving courses, discovery dives, snorkeling with sea lions, freediving with sea lions, and apnea training workshops. From the first reports of the case, it is highlighted that the tourist was with other people, including her boyfriend, with whom she was diving. In this sense, the company states that no prior experience is needed for this type of activity, as participants are accompanied by instructors and full equipment is included: «A unique experience under the sea». La Agencia Noticias Argentinas attempted to contact the company, but as of the closing of this report, they had not received any responses regarding how the expeditions are organized and what happened in the dive during which the young woman disappeared.
