Deep boat wreck in Ocean Revival, Portimão
Deep boat wreck in Ocean Revival, Portimão
The park is designed around certified dive centres, clubs, or schools, and that is the sensible default for this wreck.
Oliveira e Carmo is a boat-access artificial-reef wreck in the Ocean Revival park off Portimão. Its open decks, darker interior sections, and high-relief metalwork make it a bigger wreck dive than a scenic reef, with enough structure for trained divers who want a weather-aware south-coast boat trip and some controlled penetration.
Site Conditions
