About São Macario
São Macario is an easy wreck dive in Mindelo Bay, with a simple hull shape and an artificial-reef profile that makes the site readable from the first drop. The wreck is long enough to feel like a proper route, but the main draw is the fish life around the structure rather than a technical wreck challenge. Plan it as a boat dive with controlled buoyancy, and treat any interior space as overhead territory only if you are qualified for wreck entry.
