SIRENELLA - Mancora & North Coast

The Sirenella, a fishing vessel grounded back in '83, sits in surprisingly shallow water, making it a decent introductory wreck dive. It’s barely seven metres deep, so your bottom time is generous, perfect for poking around the remnants of the hull. You'll find plenty of small reef fish darting in and out of the rusted metalwork, and we've seen moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s not a dramatic wreck, but for a chilled-out exploration and a glimpse into Mancora's fishing past, it’s a solid pick.
