About this dive site

This dive site, known as Komotu (or Como Tu), is the resting place of a small 18-meter fishing boat wreck, situated on a sandy seabed at a maximum depth of 28 meters. The wreck provides a focal point for navigation, often becoming obscured by large schools of snappers that inhabit the area. There is no historical information provided regarding the wreck's sinking or its specific background, but it serves as an artificial reef attracting significant marine activity.

The wreck and its sandy surroundings are teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to encounter large groups of roncadores, barracudas, and snappers. The sandy bottom increases the likelihood of spotting various ray species, including eagle rays, stingrays, and torpedo rays, making it a hotspot for encounters with larger benthic creatures.

The best time to visit this dive site would likely align with periods of calm seas and good visibility to fully appreciate the marine spectacle. For scuba divers, good buoyancy control is essential around the wreck. Freedivers will find the average depth of 14 meters suitable for exploration, with the opportunity to reach the deeper wreck for extended bottom time, making it an appealing location for both disciplines.
