Dive-site story
Resting upright on a clean sandy seabed off the coast of Arrecife, Pecio Rabat is a sunken cargo vessel that has transformed into an artificial reef. The hull remains largely intact, offering dramatic wide-angle views as divers descend through clear Atlantic waters. Schools of pelagic fish patrol the open water around the superstructure while bottom-dwellers seek refuge within the shaded framework.
Well-preserved vessel structure encrusted with sponges and hydroids
Frequent encounters with schooling barracudas circling the masts
Rays and benthic sharks resting on the surrounding sand
