RIVADAVIA
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - RIVADAVIA offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Rivadavia wreck sits shallow at just five meters, making it a very accessible dive for newer wreck enthusiasts, or those just looking for a quick dip. What’s left of the hull provides shelter for small fish, and crabs scuttle across the rusted metal. It’s a decent introductory wreck, but be aware of sharp edges; it’s an old girl and she’s decaying.
