Sofia Devries, a young woman from Argentina, went missing during a diving practice in Puerto Madryn while attempting to complete her diving certification. She disappeared on Monday at a depth of 25 meters near a sunken ship in the Gulf Nuevo area. Her diving partner reported that she encountered a problem that prevented her from ascending to the surface. Despite efforts from her fellow divers to locate her, she could not be found until recently.

On Wednesday, the Argentine Coast Guard confirmed that her body had been recovered by a diver during a search operation. The body was located at a depth of 20 meters, just a short distance from where the distress call had originated. Authorities have confirmed the find, but investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances leading to her disappearance, including the possibility of underwater decompression issues that may have contributed to the tragic incident.

This incident has raised concerns about diving safety protocols and the risks associated with deep-water diving, particularly for those who are still in training. The tragedy has also highlighted the need for stringent measures to ensure the safety of divers, especially in challenging underwater environments. As investigations proceed, the case serves as a somber reminder of the potential dangers involved in recreational diving practices.
