Galeão Sacramento
Historic Salvador wreck dive with coral and structure.
Local operator required
Boat access from Salvador and exposed conditions make a local operator the normal way to run the dive.
Boat-only wreck at the bay entrance with exposed conditions, strong structure, and local-operator support for advanced divers.
About Galeão Sacramento
Historic wreck dive at the entrance to All Saints Bay, reached by boat from Salvador and best treated as an advanced profile. Cannons, anchors, and broken structure give the dive its shape, with corals and fish tucked into the wreckage and a plan that should account for exposed water and active boat logistics. It is a site for deliberate, controlled diving rather than a casual shore entry.
