John and Sara dive 2 hot spots in Playa!
John and Sara of Scottsdale, Arizone made a few dies with us this past week. We decided to dive the "Mama Vina" shipwreck almost at sunset one day...check out the action around this thing! Just awesome! Full of broad-side jacks and barracudas. The next day we did Los Arcos. Due to currents, missied the arches but still had plenty of wall to see...and ran into 2 spotted eagle rays! You can see how fast the ground is moving and will know about how the current was that day. Check it out and enjoy!

How deep was the wreck in the video?

And I agree, the current was moving.

Thanks,
