Dive-site story
Situated along the inner coast of Fernando de Noronha between sweeping sandy beaches, Morro de Fora is defined by volcanic boulder fields and rocky shelves that transition into open sand. Divers explore crevices and overhangs carved into basaltic rock, where resting nurse sharks and foraging sea turtles are frequent sights.
