C-55 Mine Sweeper Shipwreck
Approximately 6 miles southwest from the shores of Isla Mujeres this shipwreck diving adventure is waiting for you! One of our most exciting dive sites is the C-55 Shipwreck. The journey from Isla Mujeres is a beautiful boat ride going south west from the island.
This ship was intentionally sunk and rests now at a depth of 25 mt. / 80 ft. She was sunk in May of 2000 by the Mexican Government in an effort to create an alternative dive site and to provide relief for the reefs of the National Park. Nowadays this beautiful shipwreck is home to schools of barracudas, groupers, snappers, eagle rays and green moray eels.
