CharacterWreck dive · max 5m

The Bell wreck in Mar del Plata is a shallow dive, topping out at 5m. This is less a wreck dive and more of an exploration of scattered debris, as the wreck itself is quite broken up. You'll find a mix of fish species sheltering amongst the remains, often quite curious. It's a site best suited for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed, easy dive with a bit of history to it.
