Cancun Wreck & Reef Diving – 2-Tank Adventure for Certified Divers Special Price: $135 USD | Includes Equipment & 2 Amazing Dive Sites Explore two of Cancun’s most thrilling dive sites in one unforgettable experience. The Cancun Wreck & Reef Dive is the perfect choice for certified divers who want to experience the best of both worlds — the mystery and adventure of a deep shipwreck, followed by the breathtaking beauty of Cancun’s colorful coral reefs. Your adventure begins with a dive at the famous C-55 or C-58 shipwreck, resting at about 85 feet (26 meters) deep. These wrecks are teeming with marine life — schools of barracuda, groupers, rays, and sometimes even turtles passing by. The atmosphere is both serene and exhilarating as you explore the structure, now transformed into a vibrant artificial reef. Afterward, your second dive takes you to a shallow reef within the National Marine Park, where crystal-clear waters and bright coral gardens provide a stunning contrast to the depths of the wreck.  This two-tank experience is ideal for advanced or comfortable certified divers, offering a balanced mix of adventure and relaxation under the guidance of our experienced instructors.  For divers seeking an even more Nitrox tanks are available upon request. If you prefer a more personalized experience, you can also book a private instructor or private dive guide, ensuring the entire dive day is tailored to your pace and comfort level.   Book your Cancun Wreck & Reef Dive now and experience two of the most thrilling dives in the Mexican Caribbean in a single afternoon. $135 USD | Limited spots | Certified divers only Book now Welcome to our site What’s Included in Your Wreck & Reef Dive 1 Wreck Dive (C-58 or C-55, depending on conditions) 1 Reef Dive (La Herradura or other reef within the National Marine Park) Transportation from hotel to dive shop * Full scuba gear (BCD, regulator, fins, mask, weights, tank) Drinking water on board Certified Dive Guide 100% refund in case of bad weather Not Included: Wetsuit rental –  ($300 MXN) Dive computer rental ($500 MXN) Marine Park Conservation Fee & Dock Fee Nitrox (available upon request) Photo & Video packages Lunch Gratuities Dive Itinerary – Cancun Wreck & Reef Adventure Morning Dive (Available Daily & Upon Request)  8:10 AM – Pickup at your hotel   8:30 AM – Arrival at dive shop for check-in  9:00 AM – Boat departure Dive 1: La Herradura (approx. 65 ft depth)  Dive 2: Aristos, Grampin, or similar site depending on conditions  12:00 PM – Return to marina and hotel drop-off Dive locations may vary due to sea conditions, but all dives are within Cancun’s National Marine Park and carefully chosen for their beauty and safety. Cancun Wreck Dive Highlights – C-58 & C-55 The wrecks of Cancun are part of WWII naval history and are now thriving artificial reefs. C-58 (ARM General Pedro María Anaya): Former US Navy minesweeper, now split in two on the sea floor C-55 (ARM Teniente Juan de la Barrera): Another WWII minesweeper sunk in 2000 to promote marine life These wrecks are home to schools of barracuda, groupers, eels, rays, and in winter, majestic eagle rays that seek refuge around the structure. Marine Life & Reef Conditions Colorful coral formations Strong current  Huge schools of snapper and grunts Occasional nurse sharks and rays Occasional hammerhead or Black tip sharks  Calm, clear conditions inside the protected Cancun Marine Park These dive sites are part of a Federal Protected Area, where fishing is restricted and marine biodiversity flourishes. The History Behind Cancun’s Shipwrecks Both wrecks were part of the U.S. Navy’s Admirable-class minesweepers, among the most successful classes used during WWII. They were later transferred to the Mexican Navy and eventually repurposed as artificial reefs for marine conservation and scuba diving tourism. C-58: Originally the USS Harlequin (AM 365) C-55: Formerly the USS Scuffles (AM 283) Today, these wrecks offer divers a chance to explore history beneath the waves while supporting ocean regeneration.
