MALKE
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - MALKE offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The *Malke* wreck sits shallow in Mar del Plata, a yacht vessel resting at just 3m. It’s a good spot for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive, with light penetration possible into the main cabin. Expect to see various small fish, crabs, and anemones making a home of the rusted hull, especially tucked into shadowed corners. We'd suggest checking local conditions, as visibility here can vary quite a bit.
