From famous wrecks and healthy reefs, the variety and quality of the diving in Brazil is staggering.
Fernando de Noronha Marine Park, a World Heritage Site, is Brazil’s premier diving destination. With 230 species of fish, 15 species of coral and a breeding ground for spinner dolphins, divers always leave Fernando de Noronha Marine Park happy.
Close to Rio de Janeiro, Arraial do Cabo offers dive sites with calm currents and excellent visibility, making this area great for beginners. Wrecks and caves also offer challenges for more advanced divers.
Whether you choose offshore islands or the shores of Rio, you are sure to see some of the most unusual creatures and the best dive sites South America has to offer.
SHIPWRECK CAPITAL
In Brazil, Recife is known as the capital of shipwrecks, due to its huge number of sunken vessels (more than 30) and the availability of divers. There are several wrecks of the most varied types and periods, and even artificial reefs, created through projects between diving operators, private and public companies.
