After several years moored at the North Jetty of Mar del Plata, the “Sirius” was scuttled in the Cristo Rey Submarine Park, located about eight kilometers from the Mar del Plata coast, on July 21, following a two-year preparation process to get it ready for the depths, where it is expected to be visited by recreational divers from all over the world. Dismantling, cleaning, decontamination and installation of security bars were carried out on the “Sirius” by several local companies, all under the supervision and control of the Argentine Naval Prefecture. In the coming weeks the same procedure will be carried out with the m/v “Ribazón Dorine”, but there was still no date set for its sinking, since it depended on the sea. conditions.
