Rio de la Plata is a wreck and reef site located off Puerto Marques, Mexico. The site features a wreck structure providing hard relief against the surrounding reef, situated at depths between 15 and 40 metres. Divers should expect mild currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 10 metres. Due to the depth and wreck structure, carrying a torch is recommended to illuminate darker pockets. Boat access is required to reach this site. Given the depth profile, this location is suited for intermediate divers with proficient buoyancy control and air management skills. Facilities are not fixed on site, so confirm boat operator availability locally before planning your trip.
