Puerto Morelos Diving – 2 Tank Reef + Shipwreck Dive

Your underwater adventure begins with a journey from your Cancun or Mayan Riviera hotel to the charming coastal town of Puerto Morelos. Nestled between bustling hubs, this location offers a unique gateway to the Caribbean's hidden depths. Your first descent takes you to a site of incredible history and marine life, the C-56 Juan Escutia. This impressive 150-foot long minesweeper was intentionally sunk by the U.S. Navy to create a thriving artificial reef. As you explore its structure, you will feel the pull of its silent story, now home to a vibrant underwater community. This dive is a truly memorable exploration of a man-made wonder reclaimed by nature. The magic of Puerto Morelos diving continues, especially during the winter months from November to March. This period offers a breathtaking spectacle as majestic eagle rays gather, hovering gracefully over the shipwreck in a mesmerizing display. It is a sight that transforms a great dive into an unforgettable one. For your second dive, you will ascend to the shallower, sun-drenched waters of the Puerto Morelos National Marine Park. Here, you will drift over a lively reef, experiencing a different but equally stunning ecosystem. This two-tank journey provides a perfect contrast between the deep, mysterious allure of a historic wreck and the vibrant, colorful life of a protected coral garden.
