Corveta V-17 Ipiranga Wreck

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

Best,
