The Miura wreck off Mar del Plata sits shallow, just 7m deep, making it accessible for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. We found the old fishing vessel fairly broken up, but you can still make out the hull and some structural elements. Schools of silversides often congregate around the remnants, and we’ve spotted plenty of crabs and nudibranchs making homes in the crevices. It’s a decent spot for a quick dive, particularly good for photography practice on macro subjects.
