TERO
Why dive here
With 33+ marine species recorded in the area - including sperm whales - TERO offers some of Mar del Plata's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-21°C, warmest January, February, March.
The TERO offers a different kind of dive right in Mar del Plata. It's a small yacht, about eight meters long, sitting in just two meters of water. We found it a nice, easy entry, good for a relaxed afternoon. The wreck itself is mostly hull, broken up in places, but it's become home to a surprising amount of small stuff: crabs scuttling over the plates, anemones clinging to the stern, and plenty of blennies darting in and out of the crevices. It’s not a deep, dramatic wreck dive, but it’s an accessible spot for newer divers, or anyone looking for a quick dip to explore a bit of local history and the creatures making a home of it.
