Fang Ming Wreck

The Fang Ming came to La Paz in disgrace - a Chinese-flagged vessel seized by Mexican authorities in the 1990s for smuggling migrants - and was scuttled in 1999 as an artificial reef, an early project of its kind in these waters. Sitting upright on sand at around 21 m with her rails and holds in easy reach, she has grown a fur of cup corals and sponges and collected a devoted population: green turtles genuinely do nap inside the open holds and companionways, angelfish patrol the rails, and schools of grunt hang over the deck. Openings cut for divers make supervised swim-throughs straightforward for the trained. It is La Paz's easy, charming wreck dive.

Khoảnh khắc bạn đến vì nó: Turtles asleep inside the holds, cup-coral bloom on the rails, gentle first-wreck profile

Địa hình: Steel hull upright on sand near Espiritu Santo

Nguy hiểm cần lưu ý: Silt inside the hull, sharp encrusted edges, mild current over the deck.

Bảo tồn: Lies within the La Paz-area protected waters; take nothing and touch nothing - the growth is the point.

Nitrox: Đáng dùng ở đây — các hồ sơ nằm trong khoảng độ sâu mà nitrox có thể kéo dài thời gian không dừng một cách thực sự có ý nghĩa (khi đã được đào tạo sử dụng).
