The Argentine Naval Prefecture has identified the 23-year-old woman who went missing during a diving activity off the coast of Puerto Madryn. Her name is Sofía Devries, a social media content creator from Villa Ballester in Buenos Aires Province. Devries was in Chubut with her boyfriend pursuing a diving certification when the incident occurred. She failed to resurface after their diving expedition near Punta Cuevas, prompting her boyfriend to alert authorities, who initiated a search operation.

The search began after Devries did not re-emerge during the dive at the Submarine Park "HU SHUN YU 809". The prompt alert from her boyfriend indicates the close cooperation between divers and local authorities in ensuring safety during such recreational activities. The search effort involved multiple agencies and took place in challenging marine conditions, reflecting the risks associated with diving sports along the Argentine coast.

As of Monday night, officials had to suspend the search operations due to adverse conditions, highlighting the urgent need for safety protocols in diving adventures. This case raises awareness about the inherent risks in recreational diving, especially in unfamiliar waters, and emphasizes the importance of preparation and communication among diving participants and local rescue authorities.
