About Baixa Alagada − Sapho
Baixa Alagada - Sapho is an offshore Estelas dive that combines a fish-rich wall with the remains of the Greek freighter Sapho on a deeper Atlantic profile. Divers usually come for schooling pelagics, reef life along the wall, and the wreck features such as boilers and anchors, but the site is treated as an advanced dive because depth and current matter more here than simple navigation.
