What you might see

• DolphinPossible

Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.

Certification & difficulty

Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Snorkel-friendly - Yes - snorkel outings (including pedal-boat combined trips) are advertised locally, plus sea-lion snorkeling trips run by Buceo Aventura Uruguay

Safety notes

Rocky, surge-prone shoreline; cold-water exposure outside summer; remote/limited emergency-response infrastructure typical of the Rocha coast

Permits & fees

No diving-specific permit or fee found; La Paloma is a working port town (unlike the Cabo Polonio national park) so no special park-entry restriction applies to shore access

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
