Puerto Madryn: this is the search operation for the 23-year-old young woman who disappeared while diving
A search operation is underway in Puerto Madryn for a 23-year-old woman who disappeared during a diving practice in the Punta Cuevas area.
The disappearance of 23-year-old Sofia Devries during a recreational diving activity has shocked the community of Puerto Madryn. This incident took place in the Punta Cuevas area, prompting an extensive search operation by the Argentine Coast Guard (Prefectura Naval Argentina, PNA), which has intensified in recent hours. Specialized divers and additional resources from Buenos Aires have been deployed to assist in the search efforts.
Sofia Devries, a content creator from Villa Ballester, had traveled to Chubut with her boyfriend to undertake scuba diving certification. After she entered the sea, she failed to resurface, leading to immediate notification of authorities. The PNA's chief of rescue and diving, AdriΓ‘n Wagener, provided insights into the protocols activated during this search and outlined the hypotheses that authorities are considering regarding her disappearance.
As the investigation unfolds, the local community is left anxiously awaiting news of Sofia's fate, and the operation highlights the potential dangers associated with diving activities, particularly for those in training. The commitment of the PNA in responding quickly and effectively is crucial as they comb through the area in hopes of finding the missing young woman.
