Overview
Experience the thrill of wreck diving in Cancun, where maritime history and vibrant marine life come together beneath the waves. Two highlights are the C-58 (formerly USS Harlequin, AM-365) and the C-55 (formerly USS Ransom, AM-283)—both Admirable-class minesweepers built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. After decommissioning, each was sold to the Mexican Navy and intentionally sunk in 2000 to create artificial reefs.
Today, these wrecks lie at depths of around 25 meters (80 feet) and are home to an impressive array of sea life, including schools of snappers, barracudas, groupers, lobsters, green moray eels, and even seasonal eagle rays. Hurricane Wilma split the C-58 into two sections, and the C-55 now rests in three sections—all within the same vicinity, offering an exciting multi-part dive if conditions allow.
Looking for more? Don’t miss the C-56 wreck in Puerto Morelos—another captivating dive site that promises even more underwater exploration.

What Our Divers Say
★★★★★

Carie Boulanger
“Frank and his crew are the best. He truly does care for your safety and not just trying making a buck. He was the best dive master. He went over in detail everything about your equipment and dives. A good review over that stuff never hurts. He even took great photos and gave them to us at no extra cost. We will definitely be using them again when we visit the area next. I get motion sickness easily so I wear a prescription patch for it. He also had dramamine in case I needed it. Being that the waters were a little rough , I decided to take one. Thankful I did because I didn’t get sick while others who never get sick were puking after the dives.“

“El servicio fue excelente!! Hice dos inmersiones con Francisco, en Punta Negra y San Miguel. Estuvieron muy bien las dos. Francisco de 10, siempre atento a cuestiones de seguridad, muy profesional, atento también a la fauna. En cuanto a este último punto, fue excelente, se pudo ver tiburón gato, tortuga, langostas, morena, pez piedra, pez globo, etc. Los recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.“
