Saveiros

Saveiros is one of our favourite wreck dives in Fernando de Noronha, hands down. We love how purposefully it was sunk; the tugboat sits upright on the seabed at 28 metres, almost as if it’s still sailing. You can fin right through the wheelhouse, peek into the engine room, and even spot the ducted propeller. It feels less like a graveyard and more like an apartment complex for fish. The real magic here, though, is the sheer number of grunts. They form these massive, shimmering curtains around the wreck – so many sometimes you can barely see the bow. We often see red grouper lurking in the shadowy corridors and a good variety of snappers and hogfish patrolling the decks. Visibility here is usually excellent, around 20 metres, making it a fantastic spot for photographers. It’s a comfortable dive for anyone with a bit of wreck experience, offering plenty to explore without being too demanding. Just keep an eye on your bottom time; it’s easy to get lost in the details here.
