The O wreck in Mar del Plata is a shallow dive, topping out at 5m. We found the mast structure quite prominent, providing some interesting swim-throughs and nooks. It's an easy dive, good for newer divers or for a relaxed second tank, with crabs and small fish making a home in the decaying metal. Expect cooler water, but a decent look at a historical vessel without much effort.
