Description
1. Rare Artificial Reef
The Afonso Cerqueira F488 is a purpose-sunk Navy vessel, which means it was carefully prepared and placed to become a safe, eco-friendly artificial reef. This gives divers the chance to explore a clean, structurally intact wreck that was designed to be diveable — a rare opportunity.
2. Depth Suitable for Many Divers
Unlike many deep wrecks, this one lies between 12 to 30 meters, making it accessible for both Open Water (with supervision or deep experience) and Advanced divers. It’s a rare chance to dive a real wreck without needing tech-level certification.
3. Marine Life Magnet
In just a few years, the wreck has become home to a growing ecosystem. Expect to see:
Large dusky groupers
Moray eels, octopus, and nudibranchs
Barracuda schools and other pelagics circling the area
The combination of wreck structure and marine life creates fantastic photo and video opportunities.
