Dive Spot Guide•
Naufragio Blackadder
Naufragio Blackadder is a shallow Boa Viagem wreck with easy access.
Sheltered bay conditions and a shallow wreck make this a low-friction dive, but the reef edge and fragile structure reward controlled buoyancy.
About Naufragio Blackadder
Naufragio Blackadder is a shallow wreck off Boa Viagem that draws divers for its intact outline, history, and marine life. The ship lies against a reefed shoreline, with the bow, midships, and remaining masts still readable enough to follow as a single easy wreck tour. The site is usually dived with a local operator and works best when the sea is calm and the tide is friendly, because orientation is easiest when visibility is steady and the wreck stays in its sheltered bay. Shoals, seahorses, angelfish, surgeonfish, crabs, shrimp, and batfish use the structure as cover, while the stern is fragile enough that penetration there should be avoided.

Scuba Diving
Shallow wreck dive with a readable hull line, masts, and reef edge; keep buoyancy tight and stay outside the fragile stern.

Only suitable for confident freedivers on calm days, but scuba is the practical way to work the structure and marine life.
