ERGO
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - ERGO offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The ERGO wreck, right off Mar del Plata, is a shallow dive that’s surprisingly charming. At a maximum depth of three meters, it’s perfect for a leisurely swim over and around the hull. You'll spend your time exploring the remaining structure, which is now home to a busy community of small crabs, anemones, and blennies tucked into every crevice. It’s an ideal spot for newer divers, or anyone looking for a relaxed dive that doesn't demand much effort but still delivers a bit of wreck history and plenty of macro life to observe. We find it a refreshing change of pace from deeper dives, offering a different kind of underwater beauty.
