In addition to becoming an artificial reef, the boat will be joined by three more sunken boats, as well as statues, sculptures, and pyramids. Essentially, it will be a Mexican version of Atlantis. A similar artificial reef turned tourist attractions can be found off of Catalina Island in California.
