The Roberto y Nelida is a shallow wreck, sitting at just five metres, making it an ideal spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed experience. What’s left of the mast still stands, offering a clear navigational point and a home for various fish species. It's a quick dive, but a good option if you’re keen on exploring a metal hull encrusted with growth and don’t want to go deep.
