Felipe Xicotencatl C-53 Wreck
★★★★★
(3,538)
The C-53 was purposefully sunken with the aim of it becoming an artificial reef dive site. The wreck was thoroughly prepared for safe diving, including easy penetration and egress. The wreck is 55m/184ft long and the deepest point lies 23m/76ft deep.
Typical of the inside of the wreck are schools of glassy sweepers. The bottom of the bow is often inhabited by spiny lobsters and the surrounding areas often have garden eels.
