Isla Perro (Assudub) Shipwreck
Assudub
A shipwreck lies in shallow water just metres off the island, draped in coral and circled by fish. It's the classic snorkelling spot in San Blas.
Assudub (Dog Island) is a small coconut island. Just offshore, in shallow water, lies the hull of a cargo ship from the mid-20th century. Coral and sponges cover the wreck, and tropical fish dart between the compartments. You can snorkel out from the beach, where the water is only 2 to 4 metres deep. Most day trips stop at Assudub and continue to a nearby 'natural pool', a waist-deep sandbar where starfish are often spotted. Landing fees are about 3 to 5 US dollars. On the island you can rent snorkel gear and eat lunch. Don't stand on the wreck or the coral.
