Due to the depth, this site is only suitable for advanced-level divers. The wreck is a freighter originally named El Francisquita that sank in 1952 due to a strong storm. It landed 0.9km/0.6mi northwest of Punta Nati at a depth of 48-50m/157-164ft on a sandy bottom. The wreck stands upright on its keel and seems to be sailing underwater.
