Dive-site story
Sunk intentionally in 2000 off the coast of Puerto Morelos, this former Mexican Navy minesweeper rests upright on a flat sandy seabed. The wreck has developed into a thriving artificial habitat, coated with encrusting sponges, soft corals, and hydroids. Divers can explore the deck structures, gun mounts, and wheelhouse, while qualified wreck divers can penetrate the open passageways and engine compartments.
Schooling eagle rays regularly cruise past the superstructure during winter months
Intact deck machinery, navigation areas, and swim-through access for certified wreck divers
Large predatory fish patrol the open blue water surrounding the hull
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Winter and early spring bring peak aggregations of spotted eagle rays drifting across the wreck.
