Deep Noronha wreck with intact warship structure.
Diving is described as requiring accompaniment by a professional.
Corveta Ipiranga V17 is Noronha's signature deep wreck, resting off Ponta da Sapata with much of the warship still intact and marine growth spreading across the structure. Because the dive combines technical depth, blue-water exposure, and a preserved naval hull that now attracts fish life, it is treated as a specialist wreck objective rather than a routine advanced recreational drop.
