Itatí
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - Itatí offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Itatí wreck lies in shallow water, an old fishing vessel broken into distinct sections. At just 8 meters deep, it's a calm dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an extended bottom time. We found moray eels and small schooling fish have made a home in the ship's ribs, offering plenty to observe as you navigate the scattered debris. Its accessibility makes it a popular local spot.
