Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Búzios, this oceanic rock formation features massive granite boulders, swim-throughs, and sandy channels. Strong currents often sweep past the exposed point, making drift diving common along the outer drop-offs where pelagic fish congregate.
Dynamic current-driven drift along rocky channels and granite structures
Frequent encounters with sea turtles feeding along algal-covered boulders
Sheltered sandy patches sheltering rays and flatfish away from main currents
