Recife dive operators run the wreck park as a boat dive, and the penetration features need wreck training.
Saveiros is a Recife boat wreck on the artificial reef park, known for an upright tug profile, preserved deck and machinery, and a deeper profile that suits divers who want a real wreck rather than a shallow sightseeing stop. The dive rewards controlled buoyancy, a tidy team, and respect for the enclosed sections around the engine-room openings.
