Hola Nomads,
Thought you might enjoy this underwater video I took last month in the Loreto area

Good stuff. Here's a pic of the wreck from the surface.

Bill,
That photo must have been taken either a long time ago, or taken at a very low tide; the wreck is completely submerged. The buoy in the video marks it, as it is quite a navigation hazard.

Great video!
Thank you... that you ID all the life down there makes it so much more than just a fun view... we learn something, too!

That photo was taken in 2008. No buoy was necessary to mark the wreck then. Or, maybe it's a different wreck, although I don't know of another that is a hazard marked by a buoy. I'll swing in and take a look. It's about time for the yellowtail to move in on the high spots in that area.

Like it a lot, thanks.

That was absolutely fantastic!
I must go there and be one with the fishes.
