Cemitério dos Navios, or Ship Cemetery, is a collection of wrecks located off the Farilhões in the Berlengas Archipelago. The site features wreck structures with relief and penetration potential at depths reaching 18 metres. Divers encounter marine life including snails, which are very common, alongside uncommon species such as Felimare fontandraui, flatworms, wrasses, combers, fan coral, tompot blennies, dead man's fingers, hard coral, and sea squirts. Rare sightings include sea slugs, scorpionfish, soft coral, and forkbeards. Due to variable visibility and strong currents, this site requires boat access and is suited for intermediate divers. Maintain awareness of the ship structure and monitor currents throughout the dive.
