About Galeao Sao Paulo
Historic galleon wreck dating to the early 17th century, lying off Cabo de Santo Agostinho in about 19 m of water. The wooden structure is gone, but cannons and anchors remain on the seabed, with coral growth and abundant fish life. Like other wreck dives in the Recife area, divers can encounter large schools of fish and occasional nurse sharks around the site.
