About this site
The Patricia Wreck is a 65-metre (210-foot) cargo ship that was deliberately sunk in 2002 to create an artificial reef off Punta Cana. It lies at 23 metres (75 feet) and is an advanced dive.
The wreck has become a busy habitat, and groups of Great Barracuda patrol the site. Divers also often find dolphins swimming playfully inside the wreck.
