Dive-site story
Located along the central coast in Naiguatá, this site centers around the artificial breakwaters and rocky outcrops sheltering the private resort marina. Divers navigate boulder slopes that give way to sandy patches, making it a routine training ground and relaxed inshore dive. Water conditions inside the protected perimeter remain calm, while the seaward face of the jetty exposes divers to coastal swells and richer invertebrate life.
