    The *Cavo Artemidi* is one of those wrecks that just makes a day. At only 14 metres, it's accessible to nearly all divers, and what a fantastic playground it is. This bulk carrier, which ran aground back in 1980, now lies broken but still impressive, scattered across the seafloor. We love how the sheer scale of it still comes through, even with the damage. You'll spend your dive weaving through colossal metal plates, exploring the engine room, and poking around the bow section. The light filters down beautifully through the clearer Bahian water, highlighting the hard corals that have encrusted every available surface. Schools of snapper dart in and out of the shadows, and we’ve often spotted eagle rays cruising past in the blue. For us, the highlight is finding the occasional moray eel peering out from a dark crevice. It's a proper wreck dive, full of atmosphere, without the need for technical skills, making it our favourite historical wreck in the area. Dive it early in the morning for the best visibility before the currents pick up.
