CASETA WRECK
Casetas is part of the Chairel, a car ferry deliberately sunk in the year 2000 to create an artificial reef. What should have been a straightforward sinking didn’t quite go as planned. The ferry encountered weather issues during its descent, capsized, and landed upside down on the seabed.

Casetas rests at 24 meters (79 feet), making it ideal for experienced divers who are comfortable with deeper waters and drift diving conditions. Currents can be strong in this area, adding an extra element of adventure to the dive.
The wreck is broken into several pieces: a large section that allows light to penetrate and smaller fragments scattered nearby. Because Casetas has seen very little diver traffic over the years, it feels almost untouched. Schools of reef fish, curious barracudas, and other marine life make this site vibrant and full of surprises.
With careful planning and guidance from our team, Casetas offers a safe yet thrilling experience for those with the right level of experience.
