ROSALIA
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - ROSALIA offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Rosalia wreck in Mar del Plata sits shallow, only three metres deep, making it a good spot for snorkelers or very new divers. It’s a broken vessel, dangerous in places, but the structure has become a home for small fish and crabs. You won’t find big pelagics here, but it's an accessible way to see how a wreck becomes an artificial reef, especially if you're just getting comfortable with open water.
