Kwarcit
Also known as: Boris · Kwarcit Wreck · Kwarktzik
Built as a Russian fishing trawler in the late 1970s, the Kwarcit ended its working life off Cape Verde and was sent to the bottom in January 2006 as an artificial reef. The hull sits upright and intact, and parts such as the holds and the bridge can be entered. Stingrays, schools of jacks, nurse sharks, crustaceans, frogfish and nudibranchs found only in Cape Verde live on and around the wreck. Divers know it mostly by its nickname Boris. It lies about fifteen minutes by boat from Santa Maria.
