Veracruz holds unknown diving potential. Among its secrets: an eight-platform reef system that is ripe for exploration and five major wrecks – several of which are US military ships.

The seabeds of this naval port are blessed with a spectacle of sunken ships so wreck diving in Veracruz draws divers of all experience levels. Some vessels lie in as little as 10m of water and are great for fine tuning your skills.

Scuba diving in Veracruz isn’t limited to wrecks – the marine park filled with sharks and macro is still largely undiscovered. Drift over a rainbow of boulder brain and great star coral with reef fish of every kind including the iridescent ‘Gobio Jarocho’ – a fish found exclusively in Veracruz. Spot turtles, rays and sharks if you’re lucky.
