    CharacterWreck dive

    The EOLO wreck, right off Mar del Plata, is a solid entry-level dive for those looking to explore something submerged. It’s an old fishing trawler, not massive, but big enough to get a real sense of a vessel on the seabed. We often find conger eels tucked into its nooks, and schools of hake darting around the superstructure. Visibility can vary here, sometimes a good 10-15 metres, other times a bit greener, but that just adds to the atmosphere of a lost boat. It’s an accessible wreck, perfect for divers building their experience without overwhelming currents.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.

    Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
