You step off the dock as the afternoon sun lays a flat, bright path across the Nichupté Channel. The boat hums and the ocean opens like a page; a few miles out the surface shimmers and the silhouette of a grey hull sits low on the horizon — one of Cancún’s deliberately scuttled minesweepers, the C-58 (or sister C-55), waiting below at roughly 25 m (80 ft).
challenging.
4 hours.
Moderate to fit: comfortable carrying and donning gear, able to swim in currents, and perform controlled ascents.
Minimum Open Water certification or equivalent; operators will check your card (photo/digital accepted).
The wrecks sit around 25 m (approximately 80 ft); dives reach that depth so plan gas and no-decompression limits accordingly.
Yes — BCD, regulator, tanks, weights and wetsuit are included, though bringing a personal mask and dive computer is recommended.
No — strong currents at the site mean operators require experienced divers or those with roughly 20 logged dives who can handle drift and buoyancy demands.
The C-55 and C-58 were purposefully sunk as artificial reefs to enhance marine habitat and create recreational wreck sites as part of local reef restoration and tourism efforts.
This area sits next to protected reef zones; divers are expected to avoid touching coral, use reef-safe products topside, and follow operator briefing to minimize impact.
