About Santo Antao Wreck
Santo Antao Wreck is a shallow wreck dive off Santa Maria on Sal, with a relaxed profile, broken hull structure, and dense fish life around the site. Most divers reach it by a short boat run from Santa Maria, and the site is best treated as an easy Sal wreck day rather than a deep or technical run. Calm seas and light wind make the ride more comfortable and leave more room to enjoy the wreck and the surrounding fish life.
