About this dive site

This dive site, Taurus e Virgo, comprises two fascinating wrecks situated just 20 meters apart, allowing divers to explore both on a single dive. The dive typically occurs around 20 meters deep, with a maximum depth of 25 meters, providing a safe and enjoyable environment, even for potential wreck penetrations. The close proximity of these sister wrecks creates a unique underwater landscape perfect for exploration, offering intriguing structures and historical intrigue though no specific wreck history is provided.

The wrecks serve as vibrant artificial reefs, teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to encounter giant schools of grunts and porkfish swirling around the structures. Various other species of colorful reef fish inhabit the wrecks, alongside occasional sightings of majestic nurse sharks, graceful rays, and serene sea turtles.

The site is suitable for intermediate divers seeking wreck exploration and abundant marine encounters. As no specific seasonal information is provided, typically the calmer, drier months (e.g., September to March) offer the best visibility and diving conditions in this region of Brazil. Freedivers can also enjoy the average depth of 12 meters, exploring the upper sections of the wrecks and the abundant fish life.
