Lupus is our pick for a deeper wreck dive in Fernando de Noronha, especially if you’ve already explored the shallower stuff. Dropping down to 34 metres, you’ll find a tugboat that’s still remarkably complete, with those two big chimneys standing proud next to the cockpit. It feels like a proper wreck dive, not just a pile of metal. We love finning slowly over the deck, spotting whitespotted filefish flitting between the structural pieces. The wreck works as a magnet for fish, and you often see schools of grunts and broad shads swirling around the superstructure – it’s quite a sight when the light catches them just right. Keep an eye out for mottled conger morays tucked into crevices and the occasional red grouper lurking in the shadows. Visibility often hits 20 metres or more, which makes navigating the wreck easy, even at depth. It's a fantastic site for advanced divers who appreciate a well-preserved wreck and the marine life it brings in.
