Corveta Ipiranga (V17)

The Brazilian Navy corvette Ipiranga (V17) struck rocks and sank off Noronha in 1983, settling upright and startlingly intact on a sand plain around 60 m down. In the archipelago's clear water she appears whole from far above: guns trained, masts standing, companionways open, a warship paused rather than lost. The crew abandoned ship successfully, so she is dived without the weight of a grave, but with every demand of depth - this is a staged-decompression dive for trained technical divers with proper gas, run by operators equipped for it. Reef sharks and barracuda patrol the superstructure, and the light at 60 m in 30 m visibility is something recreational profiles simply never show.

Tam da bunun için geldiğiniz an: An intact upright warship in exceptional visibility, one of South America's benchmark technical dives

Topografya: Sand and rock plain around an upright warship

Tehlikeler: Depth beyond recreational limits, mandatory decompression, current on the ascent line.

Koruma: Within the marine national park; nothing may be removed from the wreck.

Nitrox: Burada değer: profiller, nitrox'un no-stop süresini anlamlı ölçüde uzattığı (ve bunu kullanacak eğitimle birlikte) aralıkta yer alıyor.
