Best for intermediate divers, 20-28m, boat entry, mild current.
Saveiros is an artificial reef located 2000 metres offshore, consisting of a deliberately sunk wreck. The site sits at depths between 20 and 28 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. Divers typically experience mild currents and visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres. Due to the depth and potential for entanglement within the wreck's enclosed sections, this site is suited for intermediate divers with strong buoyancy control. Boat access is required to reach the site. Local facilities provide air fills, equipment rental, and guided tours. Divers should be aware of the risks associated with deep wreck penetration and entanglement.

Book a guided tour rather than diving independently here as the wreck presents real entanglement risk inside enclosed sections, and a guide who knows the layout will keep you oriented and safe. The site is diveable year-round, so scheduling around your own availability is straightforward.
