Mama Vina - wreck - Mexico


Loading...
The Mama Viña was once used to trawl for shrimp, but back in 1995 it was sank to create an artificial reef and provide an added attraction to the many scuba divers who visit Playa del Carmen. It lies almost intact, listing to port, with it’s bow facing the predominant south-north current head on.

There is a rarely a weak current. Lots of coral, cleaning station for all sorts of fishys. There is also a large Loggerhead turtle that sleeps here. Deepest point is about 92’. Great vis. Nice drift dive off the wreck as the diver returns to a shallower depths.
