Big Fishes Wreck
Ultrafreeze – also known as El Frio -- is a 200-foot long shipwreck in Mexico, off the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo. The vessel was a cargo ship/ tugboat deliberately sunk to create an artificial reef.
The hull of Ultrafreeze is virtually intact, and the site is known as a fantastic dive in which to spot a diverse array of marine life. Divers have reported seeing sea turtles, manta rays, grouper, barracuda and other very large fish, making the site popular with underwater photographers.
The current can be quite strong on the way down, so experienced scuba divers will find this more comfortable than beginners.
Ultrafreeze is located 100 feet below the surface in Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of the Women), between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. The site is around a 30 minute boat ride from Cancun and Isla Mujeres. Most dive operators include transportation in the diving fee.
