 Roca Elefante is a beautiful underwater landscape that features, at depths up to 50 feet, swim-through crevices, tunnels and arches, coral reefs and a spectacular blow hole. In addition to your qualified PADI instructor with over 18 years experience in Manzanillo waters, you’ll also be accompanied by dive buddies like the yellowtail surgeonfish, king angels and several varieties of puffers. Turtles, eagle rays, and seahorses are seen on almost every dive!

You have the hurricane of ’59 to thank for the second half of your 2-tank dive. That severe weather event sunk the 300-foot San Luciano, a 98-year-old cargo steamship, in 25 feet of beautiful blue Pacific water.

While many varieties of fishes abound here, there’s the added fun of exploring all the wreck’s nooks and crannies. Based on current diving conditions, your PADI instructor may substitute alternative dive locations to find you the best dives for the day.
