Dive-site story
Sunk off the coast of Mismaloya within Banderas Bay, this former passenger vessel rests upright on a sloping sandy seabed. The hull has transformed into an artificial reef that draws schooling pelagics and bottom dwellers, offering qualified divers an accessible deep wreck exploration near Puerto Vallarta.
Intact superstructure with penetration opportunities for trained wreck divers
Schools of snappers and grunts sheltering inside the open hull sections
Occasional encounters with eagle rays gliding above the deck
Location

Seasonality
Winter and spring bring cooler currents along with migratory pelagics, while late autumn provides the clearest visibility.
