About Veleiro Yemanja
Veleiro Yemanja is an iron sailboat wreck off Pina Beach in Recife. It was intentionally sunk as an artificial reef and now sits as a compact wreck dive with recognizable masts, framing, and other remaining structure. The site is usually dived by boat, with the best windows coming when sea state is calm and visibility is clear. It suits divers who are comfortable with open water and changing coastal conditions, rather than a casual shore entry.
