Why dive here
With 417+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - SS Far Star offers some of Yucatán Cenotes's richest wreck diving.
The SS Far Star gives you a break from the typical cavern diving when you're in the Yucatán. It’s an old dredge, sunk intentionally, now sitting upright on a sandy bottom. We like exploring the deck machinery, especially the large bucket scoops that are still attached. You’ll often find schooling fish darting through the superstructure and the occasional turtle resting on the hull. It’s a good option for divers looking for something a bit different, a chance to explore a small wreck without venturing into the open ocean.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
