Recreational marine spearfishing (pesca/caza submarina) is practiced legally along Argentina's Atlantic coast and is a recognised competitive sport governed by the Federacion Argentina de Actividades Subacuaticas (FAAS, CMAS member). Coastal hotspots include Las Grutas, San Antonio Oeste and Playas Doradas (Rio Negro) and Puerto Madryn and Comodoro Rivadavia (Chubut), which have hosted national and Pan-American championships. However, the activity is regulated at the provincial level (the national fisheries law focuses on commercial sea fishing), and it is explicitly PROHIBITED in continental/freshwater Patagonian waters under the Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico (Art. 22, which bans 'la caza subacuatica' and the use of 'arpones'), and harpoons are prohibited for sport fishing in National Parks. There is no single nationwide statute that affirmatively authorises marine spearfishing; legality therefore depends on the province and whether the water is marine or continental, hence the 'restricted' classification.

Κανόνες εξοπλισμού
Ποιος εξοπλισμός επιτρέπεται, πώς μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και ποιοι όροι ισχύουν.
Περιορισμοί
- Marine coastal practice typically uses band-powered or pneumatic spearguns/harpoons, 7mm wetsuit, mask/snorkel, fins, weight belt and a surface marker buoy (per reported sport practice in Rio Negro/Chubut).
- Harpoons/spearguns are PROHIBITED in continental Patagonian sport-fishing waters (Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico, Art. 22) and for sport fishing in National Parks.
- Whether SCUBA-assisted spearfishing is permitted (vs free-diving/apnea only) was not confirmed from a verbatim source; competitive spearfishing in Argentina is apnea-based.
Equipment legality is marine-vs-continental dependent. In marine coastal provinces spearguns are used lawfully for sport; in continental/freshwater Patagonia and National Parks they are banned.

Αλλοδαποί επισκέπτες
No specific national rule on foreign spearfishers was retrieved. International competitors participate (e.g. Pan-American Championship in Comodoro Rivadavia). Foreigners would be subject to the same province-specific permit and FAAS/affiliated-club requirements as residents; confirm locally.

Επιτρεπόμενες περιοχές
Coastal town in Rio Negro province; recognised marine spearfishing (caza submarina) area with rocky restingas (reefs, caves and crevices) holding species such as salmon (de mar), mero (grouper) and besugo (sea bream). Reported max diving depth ~15 m.
Spearfishers avoid the Parque Submarino (sunken-ship artificial reef) area; selective adult-only catch is the local norm.
Beach resort in Rio Negro that has hosted the Argentine Championship of Underwater Hunting (Campeonato Argentino de Caza Submarina).
unknown
Coastal city in Chubut considered a 'mecca' of competitive underwater hunting; hosted the VII Pan-American Spearfishing Championship organised by FAAS.
unknown
Coastal city in Chubut on Golfo Nuevo, with natural reefs; a well-known centre for diving and underwater hunting at sport level.
unknown
Απαγορευμένες περιοχές
- Parque Submarino de Las Grutasartificial reef / underwater park (no-take by local convention; no verbatim statutory ban retrieved)
Underwater park ~5 km south of Las Grutas and ~7.5 km offshore, Rio Negro; four sunken fishing vessels (Don Felix, Chiarpesca, Mariana Rojamar, Polarborg) act as artificial reefs hosting dense marine life. Local spearfishers deliberately avoid hunting at these structures, treating them as protected artificial reefs.
- Continental / freshwater Patagonia (Chubut, Neuquen, Rio Negro inland waters, southern National Parks)regulatory prohibition (freshwater sport-fishing jurisdiction)
Underwater hunting (caza subacuatica) and the use of harpoons are explicitly prohibited in continental sport-fishing waters under the Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico, Art. 22.
Harpoons (arpones) are listed among prohibited capture gear for sport fishing within Argentina's National Parks system.

Σημειώσεις ερευνητή
Argentina is a federal state: the national Regimen Federal de Pesca (Ley 24.922) governs commercial/maritime fishing, while recreational and sport fishing - including spearfishing - is regulated by the provinces and by sector regulations. KEY DISTINCTION: marine coastal spearfishing is practiced legally and competitively (FAAS-organised national and Pan-American championships in Rio Negro and Chubut), whereas underwater hunting (caza subacuatica) and harpoons are explicitly PROHIBITED in continental/freshwater Patagonian sport-fishing waters (Reglamento de Pesca Deportiva Continental Patagonico, Art. 22) and harpoons are barred for sport fishing in National Parks. Verbatim provisions were captured for the Patagonian continental prohibition and season; precise per-province marine spearfishing rules, licenses, catch and size limits for the main coastal provinces (Buenos Aires Ley 11.477, Rio Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz) were not retrieved verbatim (some provincial sources are scanned image PDFs) - hence data_confidence is 'medium'. Anyone intending to spearfish should confirm the specific provincial regulation and any local marine-protected-area (e.g. Parque Submarino de Las Grutas) restrictions before fishing. Coordinates for zones are approximate town/site locations.
