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.
