Dive-site story
Located in a sheltered cove at Ilha do Arvoredo, this dive explores the scattered remains of the steamship Granada, which sank in 1936. Iron framing, engine components, and boiler plates lie dispersed across a mixed substrate of rocky reef and sandy patches, providing ample crevices for coastal marine species.
Extensive machinery and boiler fragments encrusted with soft corals and sponges
Sheltered bay conditions typically protected from strong ocean swells
Frequent encounters with sea turtles feeding among the wreckage and rocky boulders
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Southern hemisphere summer and autumn deliver warmer water and the most consistent clarity.
