Naufrágio Buenos Aires (Wreck)
Experienced-diver wreck off Ilha Rasa in Rio de Janeiro.
Deep Rio wreck dive with strong current, poor visibility, and a historic steamship hull off Ilha Rasa.
About Naufrágio Buenos Aires (Wreck)
Historic steamship wreck off Ilha Rasa in Rio de Janeiro, reserved for experienced divers because the site combines deep wreck sections, strong surface current, and low visibility. The draw is the wreck itself, with dramatic steel structure and regular sightings of moray eels, eagle rays, and other shelf life around the hull. It is a guided boat wreck rather than a casual reef dive, and it rewards tight buoyancy, current management, and conservative gas planning.
