Brasileira M sits in only 6m of water off Mar del Plata, a shallow wreck dive suited for newer divers looking for their first proper wreck experience. She's broken up, but you can still pick out sections of hull and machinery. Expect to see some small fish and crabs making a home in the wreckage, particularly if you take your time examining the nooks and crannies. It’s a good spot to practice wreck navigation without the pressure of deep water or strong currents.
