Regi - Algarve & Berlengas

The Regi is a small, intact trawler sitting at 19 metres, making it a good wreck for intermediate divers. The wheelhouse is still largely there, as are some of the winches. We often spot schools of sea bream around the superstructure and moray eels tucked into the hull sections. It’s a solid second dive after a deeper wreck in the area.
