This dive site, known as ‘Pronto’, offers a fascinating glimpse into maritime history. It was constructed in 1895 and tragically sunk on April 29, 1929, at approximately 5 pm outside the Ilhéu da Pontinha with a substantial cargo of 200 tons of water. The wreck rests on a sandy seabed at a depth of 30 meters, surrounded by an impressive diversity of marine life. This location is particularly appealing to experienced deep divers who appreciate exploring submerged historical artifacts and the vibrant ecosystems that have taken hold around the wreckage. It’s considered a paradise for those seeking challenging dives.
