LA BONITA
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - LA BONITA offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
La Bonita, just off Mar del Plata, is a shallow wreck, barely 5 meters deep, making it accessible even for newer divers. The currents here can be unpredictable, sometimes quite strong, so we always check conditions before heading out. It’s a good spot for observing the fish that have made the wreck home, mostly smaller species sheltering in the superstructure. You won’t find huge corals, but it’s an honest, quick dive to explore a piece of local history underwater.
