Puerto Morelos Diving: C-56 Wreck

Join us for a thrilling dive at the C-56 wreck in Puerto Morelos, one of the most fascinating underwater wrecks near Cancun. This 184-foot-long Mexican Gun Boat, perfectly upright with its keel on the sand at 90ft (27 m), is a haven for marine life. The deck, at 64ft (20 m), is alive with Big Eye Trevally, Wrasse, Groupers, Morays, and even Eagle Rays soaring above.

As you explore the wreck, you’ll encounter vibrant soft corals and numerous small crustaceans and invertebrates, including Arrow crabs and Fire worms. Near the Wheelhouse, keep an eye out for the resident barracuda. The C-56 wreck, originally the USS Knave launched during World War II, was purposefully sunk in 2000 as a diver’s paradise.

We require a minimum of 2 divers and recommend booking in advance to secure the best conditions for your dive. Plan early to avoid disappointment and experience the magic of scuba diving in Puerto Morelos, Mexico.
