Hi all,
I’d like to share this video about wreck dive at Corveta V-17 Ipiranga.
This 56m long Brazilian warship vessel was build in 1953 by the Marinha do Brasil. It sunk in october 1983 at Fernando de Noronha. The Corveta V-17 Ipiranga sank after had hit an unmarked pinnacle and drifted for 8 hours and it’s totally intact and sitting completely upright.
Fernando de Noronha is located in the Atlantic, 340 km outside the coast of Brazil. It's a volcano with it's top just 300 m above surface but it's actually a mountain 4,000 m high.

Depth: from 42 to 63 meters

Hello Nico,
Noronha is really a nice place to dive, but the island is 340 km outside the cost of Brazil. The gases for technical dive and living is expensive there.

Thanks Rjack.
We dropped our deco gas and then penetrated carrying only our bottom gases because it was more comfortable inside Corveta (some restrictions). We penetrated with our reels. There were some guide lines inside wreck.
