Taurus
After sinking in 2003, in Recife harbour, the tugboat Taurus was brought back to the surface and, due to the damages, donated to the artificial reef project. Today this wreck is at 25 meters deep, slightly adhering to port side. It is possible to penetrate and identify many pieces.
Many families of fish are found during the dive, due to the shelter provided by this artificial reef. As in other shipwrecks in the region, it is common the presence of nurse sharks.
