    Teruela III, a sunken fishing trawler, sits upright in just six metres of water near Mar del Plata. It’s a shallow, accessible wreck, perfect for divers new to overhead environments or those wanting to log some easy bottom time. We’ve found the stern section, in particular, offers some interesting swim-throughs, and you’ll often spot cormorants fishing nearby, darting past the wreck’s superstructure.
