Brazil Dive Sites
" Exuberant
stadium-like rock formation, 16m max depth and 30m average visibility,
with abundant marine life, from reef and nurse sharks to small
multicoloured reef fish. It is also a national park, so it is protected
by law. Brazil's best, by far!" "Open sea
dive, several small caverns and coral reef formations. A lot of small
creatures, small shrimps, colourful school of fishes. Some lobsters and
octopus. Encounters with Lambarus (Lime Sharks) and some hammerhead
sharks, manta ray, eagle ray and more pelagic creatures." "Regarding
Pedras Secas dive site, its name means dry stones in Portuguese. Is an
arena like formation, surrounded by small passages and small caverns
and cracks in the rocks. The local divemaster will guide you through
the best parts of the site and will always call your attention to the
wonders that come into sight, deep range from 12 to 20 meters and
there is no strong drift, so relax and enjoy the dive. Marine life can
be described as unique and plentiful. Colourful fishes habituated with
the presence of divers and some are even curious about the divers,
getting closer to take a look at "such a strange creature that makes
bubbles". There is no need to be lucky to find nurse sharks and green
turtles, they are always around. Try sneaking in the small holes and
slits in the bottom and you will probably find some lobsters, crabs,
shrimps and octopuses ready to show their quick colour changing show.
Quite often, eagle rays and reef sharks can be seen. With some luck,
you may encounter Manta Rays and Hammerhead Sharks, an unique
experience. All this, spiced with a warm water (27oC / 80oF),
visibility ranging from 15 metres (50 feet) in the bad days to more
than 30 metres as an standard. There are three good operators in
Noronha, but I strongly recommend using Atlantis, the second choice is
Aguas Claras.
" An oceanic
rock, 70 miles from shore of SP state where pelagics find some
harbour. Further to the abundant marine life, there is small and
pretty conservate trawler wreck to explore." "Several
people come to the main city in South America for business reasons and
forget their diving equipment. While in São Paulo, you get a car and
in less than one hour you are in Santos, where you get a boat and
within another one and a half hour you will be at Laje de Santos. It
is a 400 m rock emerging 70 kilometres from the shore. There are dives
for all levels of certification, with deeps ranging from 14 m to more
than 40 m. Visibility sometimes turn into a lottery there are reports
of less than 5 m but usually you will find 15 m and sometimes more
than 25 m. Several parrot fishes and angel fishes will be surrounding
you. A small trawler wrecked is a welcomed surplus to the site.
Starfishes and octopuses can be found in the rocks. Quite often there
are encounters with the main visitor of such site, the Manta Rays,
which turns an already good dive in such site into a unique
experience. "
" A warship
wreck technical dive that can be made by divers with more than 50
logged dives and Nitrox certified. "
"There is an amazing diving site called Abrolhos. Fantastic place. It is an island, so you have to stay in the boat. I stayed 3 days there and was very well impressed. " Brazil Diving OperatorsRecommend a dive operator or list your diving company on this page.
