About this dive site
This dive site, locally known as El Naranjito, offers a fascinating exploration of a cargo vessel lost at sea in April 1946. The wreck, measuring approximately 51 meters in length, rests on a sandy bottom with a slight heeling to starboard. The seabed depth varies from 42 meters at the bow to 45 meters at the stern. The wreck itself is reported to be in excellent condition, making it an ideal starting point for those interested in wreck penetration – specifically, exploring the engine room and holds. A deck level of around 28 meters provides an accessible entry point. This location presents a unique opportunity to experience a well-preserved historic vessel.
