Why dive here
With 116+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - Roberto Ivens offers some of Algarve & Berlengas's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 15-19°C, warmest June, October, November.
The Roberto Ivens wreck sits upright on the seabed at 31m, a relatively intact fishing trawler that offers a solid intermediate dive in the Algarve. We often find the visibility here can be a bit hit or miss, but on a good day, the structure provides a decent canvas for photography. Look for conger eels tucked into the darker recesses and schools of small fish zipping through the hold. It’s a rewarding dive for those comfortable with deeper wrecks and keen to explore a piece of local maritime history.
