CERES
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - CERES offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Ceres, a pilot boat resting at just 5 meters, is a fantastic introduction to wreck diving off Mar del Plata. What it lacks in depth, it makes up for in approachability and character. You can comfortably spend a whole dive exploring its structure, noting how the local fish have made themselves at home amongst the hull and machinery. We've seen conger eels poking out from crevices and plenty of crabs scuttling over the barnacle-encrusted metal. It’s an easy, relaxed dive, perfect for newer wreck enthusiasts or when you just want a straightforward exploration without deep decompression obligations.
