ST. ANTÃO WRECK
Cape Verde
The St. Antão Wreck is a 55-metre long wreck accessible to divers of all levels. The ship sank in 1966 and lies in three parts on the seabed, at a maximum depth of 14 meters. In and around the wreck you will encounter large schools of fish. There are only two small open spaces where you can enter the wreck up to a maximum of 3 meters.
Particulars
Enter the water from the boat and descend to St. Antão Wreck. Now take a good look at the bottom between the debris of the wreck, looking for the stingrays. The slugs are equally interesting. They are very small and are mainly found on the hull of the wreck.
Warnings
Watch out! St. Antão Wreck has some sharp parts that could damage your equipment. Do not enter the wreck unless you are properly certified.
