Wreck Diving with Eagle Rays in Puerto Morelos
Make incredible explorations!
It is well known that wrecks form artificial reefs and become the habitat of magical marine species … this is the case of the incredible wreck of Puerto Morelos which is 56m long.
Known for its size and its gigantic rooms, in which you will have the chance to venture, the wreck C-56 “Juan Escutia” was donated and sunk by the Mexican Navy in 2000. It was a minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II.
This wreck lies at a depth of 30 meters and has a wonderful surprise… a family of majestic Leopard Eagle Rays live there for part of the year. Admire them dancing around the wreck throughout your dive.

Eagle Ray
The eagle ray is a graceful, spotted marine ray known for its long wingspan and distinct, leopard-like spots. Often seen gliding through tropical waters, these rays are powerful swimmers, capable of making impressive leaps above the water. They feed mainly on mollusks and crustaceans, using their strong jaws to crush shells, and are a mesmerizing sight for divers.
Angel Fish
Angelfish are vibrant, colorful reef fish known for their striking patterns and graceful swimming. Often found in warm, tropical waters, they inhabit coral reefs, where they feed on algae and small invertebrates. With their unique shapes and lively colors, angelfish are a delight to encounter while diving or snorkeling.
Lion fish
Lion fish are stunning yet invasive predators known for their striking appearance, featuring long, venomous spines and bold stripes. Native to the Indo-Pacific, they have spread to the Caribbean, where they pose a threat to local marine ecosystems. Often found lurking among coral reefs, lionfish are both captivating and concerning, making them a highlight for divers while emphasizing the importance of responsible diving practices.
