Siempre Republicano - Mar del Plata

The Siempre Republicano sits upright in about 7 metres of water, making it a comfortable dive even on a choppy day. What was once a fishing trawler is now a playground for silversides and rockfish. We’ve had some good luck finding conger eels tucked into the darker spaces. You can swim right through the wheelhouse, which is pretty open, and the holds offer some interesting light play. It's a solid choice for a second dive or if you're looking to get some good wreck penetration practice without going too deep.
