Best for advanced divers, 27-28m, boat entry, moderate current.
The C-50 Rivapalacios is an artificial reef wreck located 10 kilometres offshore at Anegada de Adentro. Resting at a depth of 27 to 28 metres, this site is strictly for advanced divers due to the overhead environment and potential for entanglement. Visibility is highly variable, often dropping to near-zero or remaining below 2 metres, necessitating the use of dive lights and careful buoyancy control. Moderate currents are common, requiring coordination with boat operators before entry. Divers should be prepared for a challenging wreck environment that demands a conservative gas plan and disciplined navigation skills.

Given the near-zero visibility potential, carry at minimum two dive lights and run a guideline if penetrating the wreck interior. Confirm current conditions with the boat operator before committing to the dive, as moderate currents can make the already low-visibility environment significantly more demanding.
