3-4X3
Why dive here
With 77+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, hammerhead sharks, humpback whales, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - 3-4X3 offers some of Mancora & North Coast's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-26°C, warmest February, March, April.
The 3-4X3 site near Mancora offers a glimpse into the region’s industrial past, now softened by the sea. This isn't a grand liner, but rather a drill vessel, or perhaps a rig, sitting upright at 20 meters. We’ve found the mast sections are particularly interesting, providing plenty of nooks and crannies for exploration. The metalwork has become a canvas for various invertebrates, attracting the usual suspects of reef fish. It’s a straightforward wreck dive, generally calm, a good option for those new to wrecks or looking for something different from the typical reef.
