Wreck DivingGood buoyancy control is essential in light currents and when ascending and descending by rope.
Mandatory use of buoy: It is mandatory to enter and exit at the designated entrance to avoid possible problems with motor vehicles and in the event of having to make an emergency ascent in another place, always throw a signaling buoy before ascending to the surface.
Mandatory use of cable cutters or knives: In this area, non-professional fishing with a “gun-forbidden” rod is permitted, so it is necessary to have a line cutter in case of accidental entanglement with a fishing line.

This boat carries sunk since 1985 Therefore the amount of life that has been generated has turned into an artificial reef.
On this reef, sea breams are usually the protagonists, with such a huge number of specimens that sometimes they cover the entire wreck and then uncover it. Needless to say, witnessing this moment in person is an experience that every diver should see at least once in their life.
Other characteristic species of the area are the sharks and rays on the sandy bottoms and a huge amount of alfonsitos inside.
