Why dive here
SS Marcar is a wreck dive in Santo Antão, Cape Verde.
The SS Marcar is a pretty accessible wreck, sitting upright at 16 metres off Santo Antão. You can easily poke around the deck and superstructure, which is now home to plenty of schooling fish and a few resident morays. It’s a gentle introduction to wreck diving, perfect for beginners looking for something more than just reef. We find it’s best enjoyed slowly, really taking in the way the metal has become part of the habitat.
