Servemar 1 - Fernando de Noronha

The Servemar 1 wreck sits upright at 24 metres, an old tugboat with a story told in its rust. It’s a solid intermediate dive, nothing too taxing, but enough depth to make you feel like you've earned it. We often find nurse sharks napping under the bow, and the engine room is usually buzzing with schools of snapper. The wheelhouse is still intact, mostly, and you can swim through it, which is always a neat feeling. It’s a classic wreck dive, a nice counterpoint to some of Noronha’s reefier spots.
