Local dive-resort listing with gear, facilities, and tours to Uribe 121.
Rosarito's flagship artificial-reef wreck dive.
Rosarito's flagship artificial-reef wreck dive.
Rosarito tourism lists local operators for the underwater park, and Baja Diving Adventures runs tours to Uribe 121.
Uribe 121 is Rosarito's flagship artificial reef, a deliberately sunk Mexican Navy patrol vessel that turned a stretch of Baja coast into the region's first underwater park. The dive is a cold-water wreck circuit on a large steel hull, so the appeal is structure, habitat, and open Pacific scenery rather than easy shallow sightseeing. Boat access and a local operator are the practical way in, and the site suits advanced divers who are comfortable managing depth and conditions.

Treat it as a deep cold-water wreck dive and keep conservative gas, buoyancy, and exposure protection plans.

Advanced divers only; boat access and a local operator are the practical way to reach the park.

Dive the site through the local Rosarito operators and follow the park's managed-reef practices rather than ad hoc access.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat dive on a deliberately sunk naval patrol vessel with a large steel hull and full wreck profile. The site is better for slow circuits and photography than for casual sightseeing.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target because of depth and open-water conditions.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the meaningful visit is the wreck itself at depth.
