Equis Dos sits in shallow water just off Mar del Plata, a small sailing vessel that met its end a while back. At only two metres deep, it’s a site for a quick dip, not a deep exploration. The boat is mostly broken up now, a scattering of ribs and planks, but it’s enough structure to attract some interesting life. We’ve seen small shoals of fish darting in and out, and the odd crab scuttling across the remains of the deck. It's a nice easy dive, good for a relaxed afternoon when you're not chasing big pelagics.
