About C-59 Wreck
C-59 Wreck is a deliberately sunk former navy vessel off La Paz that now serves as one of the area's more approachable artificial-reef wreck dives. The exterior route suits recreational divers, while any interior exploration should be left to divers with proper wreck training and conditions that clearly allow it. Marine life has colonized the hull and superstructure, so dives often mix structural features with schools of reef fish, moray eels, octopus, and the occasional turtle or ray. Most visits are run by boat from La Paz, and overall dive quality depends on daily weather, sea state, and water clarity.
