ROCA III
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - ROCA III offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
Roca III is a shallow wreck dive, sitting at just two metres deep. It’s an interesting site for less experienced divers or those looking for a quick explore, as the wreck itself is quite broken up. You’ll find a mix of local fish, crabs, and anemones making a home among the metal structure. While it's classified as a dangerous wreck, its shallow depth makes it accessible and manageable for a careful dive.
