About Naufragio Germania
Shallow historic wreck off the Barra lighthouse in Salvador, one of the close Germania-Bretagne pair at the entrance to Todos os Santos Bay. The site is a simple-access wreck dive with boilers, mast, anchors, bows, and hull sections still visible, plus schools of reef fish, morays, and spider crabs around the structure. It is a compact, history-rich Bahia dive that rewards calm conditions and good timing.
