This dive site is the Mama Viña, a former shrimp boat intentionally sunk in 1995 to create an artificial reef. Resting upright at 30 meters, it's celebrated for its thrilling drift dives caused by strong currents. The wreck is heavily colonized by corals and sponges, attracting large schools of fish and seasonal bull sharks.
