    The Venus wreck in Arraial do Cabo sits shallow, around 6 metres, making it a good choice for newer divers or for a relaxed second dive. What's left of the ship provides plenty of structure for exploring, with soft corals and sponges now growing on its frame. Look closely and you'll spot nudibranchs, small crabs, and schools of juvenile fish darting amongst the wreckage. It's a straightforward wreck dive that won't test your limits but offers a decent amount to see.
