Servemar X - Fernando de Noronha
Servemar X gives you a peek into Fernando de Noronha’s past, and a good dive to boot. We usually drop onto a sandy patch, then head towards the wreck, a cargo ship that went down in the 1990s. It’s broken into a few pieces now, but the stern and bow sections are still pretty intact, letting you get a good feel for the scale. Keep an eye out for nurse sharks tucked under the metal plates and colourful parrotfish picking at the encrusted hull. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy wreck penetration, with plenty of swim-throughs for experienced divers.
