Santo Antao Wreck
★★★★☆
(2,989)
This 11-meter-deep wreck is perfect for beginners and advanced divers to enjoy a relaxing dive. The 60-year-old wreck was a 30-meter-long boat traveling between islands that smashed into the shallowest rocky part near the shore.
It’s a hotspot of pufferfish; hundreds of them are camouflaged on the bottom. It is also home to stingrays, nurse sharks, trumpet fish, as well as turtles, moray eels and nudibranchs.
