About This Dive Spot
This site features the remains of the steamboat Rio de Janeiro, which sank in 1853 after a charcoal fire. The vessel was run toward Praia Vermelha to allow crew and passengers to disembark. The main draw is the wreckage itself, including visible engine components such as cylinders, pistons, the wheel axle support, and a condenser.
