About this dive site

This dive site features the El Vencedor wreck, a tuna trawler that sank in the early 1980s after striking the reef in Cabo Pulmo. It now serves as a vibrant artificial reef, providing an exciting and relatively easy navigation experience for divers exploring its structure and the surrounding sandy seabed.

The El Vencedor is teeming with marine life, offering sightings of numerous schooling snapper and grunts, impressive large grouper, and a variety of smaller creatures like pufferfish, moray eels, and garden eels. It is also famous for its resident bull sharks, which are generally described as peaceful.

While not explicitly stated, Cabo Pulmo generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, making it a great destination for visiting this wreck. Its shallow maximum depth of 15 meters and average depth of 7 meters make it ideal for extended bottom times, suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking to explore its rich ecosystem.
