SCOTT
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - SCOTT offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The SCOTT, an old fishing vessel, rests upright on the seabed near Mar del Plata. It’s a shallow dive, less than 10 meters, making it accessible for newer wreck divers comfortable with colder water. We've often found small crabs sheltering in the broken hull and sometimes a school of silversides darting through the superstructure. The stern is largely intact, offering some interesting swim-throughs if you're comfortable with limited visibility and overhead environments.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
