River Gurara — Popa dive guide.
The stern section of River Gurara, with rudder, propeller, inverted hull and scattered structures forming varied habitats.
Level

Access
Boat wreck dive about 6.2 nautical miles west of Sesimbra; current Cipreia and Haliotis listings confirm operator access to the stern.
Best season

Safety
Stay on the briefed exterior route, preserve wreck material, manage entanglement and overhead risk, and use conservative gas and a controlled ascent.
Hours
No fixed public hours. Boat departures, protected-area access and shore entries depend on operators, permits and sea state.
