Best for advanced divers, 32m, boat entry, moderate current.
The Minuano is a wreck located 1000 metres off the coast of Brazil, resting at a constant depth of 32 metres. This site is suited for advanced divers, as the depth and potential for nitrogen narcosis require careful decompression management. The wreck features a structure that presents entanglement risks, making guided tours recommended to navigate the layout efficiently. Divers experience moderate currents and visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site is available for night diving. Given the depth and conditions, a deep or wreck specialty certification is advised for those planning to explore this site.

Book a guided tour through the local dive shop, as a guide who knows the wreck's layout will save you bottom time and keep you clear of entanglement risks.
