Artificial reefs in San Carlos

Just 30 minutes from San Carlos toward the north, at about 20 meters depth, rests the tuna boat known as “Albatun,” which is nearly 180 feet in length, and nearby, just in front of the ecological retreat known as Cañon de Las Barajitas, rests the “Presidente Diaz Ordaz,” a 330-foot long ferryboat. (The tuna boat sank in rough seas where it rests. The ferry was in an accident near Mazatlan where it partially sank. It was towed to Guaymas for repairs that were never performed and then sunk at the request of the diving industry.)
