About this dive site

This dive site, Faro de Bucerias, is located near a quiet sub-tropical town in Mexico, offering a serene escape for divers. Its primary draw is a fascinating sunken ship situated just offshore, providing an excellent exploration opportunity. The site is relatively shallow, with an average depth of 8 meters, making navigation straightforward and suitable for a relaxed dive.

Divers can expect vibrant wildlife encounters typical of the semi-tropical Pacific. Notable species include inquisitive octopuses, various lobsters, majestic eagle rays and mantas gracefully gliding by. The reef is also home to a colourful array of eels, butterflyfish, angelfish, and damselfish, contributing to a rich biodiversity.

While the description doesn't specify a best time to visit, the sub-tropical Pacific generally offers good diving conditions year-round. This site is ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its shallow nature and abundant marine life. Its accessibility from a beautiful beach and the unique wreck make it a highlight for those seeking an uncrowded, charming dive experience.
