Dive-site story
Resting right inside Santo Antônio harbor in Fernando de Noronha, this historical shipwreck sits fragmented over a shallow sandy bottom. Its iron ribs, boiler, and scattered machinery have formed an artificial reef that draws marine animals seeking shelter from open water, making it a staple spot for check-out dives, macro photography, and calm night explorations directly from the beach.
Accessible wreck structure with boiler and iron hull frames encrusted in coral growth
Regular resting spot for green sea turtles and sleeping rays on the sandy seabed
Calm harbor waters suitable for easy navigation and relaxed night dives
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Calmest surface conditions typically occur during the second half of the year, although the sheltered harbor remains divable year-round.
