DG7
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - DG7 offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The DG7 is a shallow barge wreck, sitting upright in just 6 metres of water off Mar del Plata. It’s an easy dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second tank. You’ll find schools of silversides darting through the superstructure, and we’ve often spotted conger eels tucked into the shadowed corners. The wreck itself is a straightforward explore, offering a good introduction to wreck diving.
