The Maraldi Shipwreck is one of the many shallow wrecks located in All Saints Bay, the largest bay in Brazil, and a popular dive site near Barra Lighthouse in Salvador. The vessel sank on February 28, 1875, after running aground on coral reefs due to strong currents while stopping to resupply with coal and food. Originally departing from Buenos Aires and bound for Antwerp, the Maraldi was a hybrid sail-and-steam ship carrying cargo such as leather and wool. Today, the wreck is an accessible and beginner-friendly dive site suitable for all levels, including Discover Scuba Diving (DSD), as well as snorkeling and ocean swimming. With consistently warm water temperatures ranging from 24°C to 32°C year-round, the Maraldi Shipwreck offers an ideal environment for marine exploration and underwater tourism in Bahia.
