El Vencedor Wreck (Cabo Pulmo)

El Vencedor is not much of a wreck - a tuna boat's broken remains settling into the sand inside Cabo Pulmo National Park - but it hosts one of the most reliable bull shark encounters in the Americas. The structure functions as a landmark and gathering point: divers settle low on the sand nearby, keep their hands folded, and watch heavy-bodied bull sharks make unhurried circuits through the visiting snapper and jack schools, typically in the cooler months. Park guides run the encounter with strict etiquette, no bait involved. Between shark passes, the debris itself shelters porcupinefish, morays, and juvenile everything - a nursery with formidable visitors.
