Ilhas Rasas

The freighter Victory 8B was purposely sunk on the coast of Espírito Santo, 6 nautical miles from the continent. This ship was abandoned by the crew after 18 months in port, with fiscal problems. It is in the navigation position, with many parts intact. Prof. Max 36mts

Escalvada Island offers one of the best dives in Espírito Santo. Its depth varies between 6 and 24 meters and the point is susceptible to currents.

Ilha de Âncora is one of the main diving destinations for divers that frequent the region of Arraial do Cabo, Cabo Frio and Búzios, due to its proximity to the continent and excellent diving conditions. The depth at the points varies from 8 to 30 meters, welcoming beginners and advanced divers.

The Atlântida Cliff is a little visited diving spot in Abrolhos region, but it offers a spectacular dive. The formations provide a dive with several passages and channels, until the arrival to a lounge, where almost 15 divers can fit. The depth ranges from 8 to 32 meters.

The underwater trail is 140 meters long, with 14 pins installed on the sand and cables that connect the points of interest, guiding the route and facilitating the interpretation of each point with its attractions.

The set of coral pinnacles that received the name of “Faca Cega“ (Blind Knife) consists of one of the main diving points of the Abrolhos Archipelago. It has a room that reaches a depth of 25 meters, with almost 20 meters in diameter. The view is impressive, with several passages and burrows.

Another shipwreck located in the difficult navigation region of the Abrolhos Archipelago. The ship Guadiana was carrying coffee and, on a day of low visibility, ended up colliding with a rock and sank in the year 1885. Today it is dismantled, with some identifiable parts, such as the machines and the rudder.

The old dismantled wreck brings together a lot of marine life and allows the observation of its structures, which bring together a diversity of marine life. If you want to observe beyond the wreck, a tranquil shallow dive is possible, suitable for any level of training.

The little caves on Mae Island are rock formations that form a veritable playground for divers of all levels. Inside these structures are large quantities of fish, surprising when observed closely. It is the most sought after spot on the coast of Niteroi.

The South Point of the Mother Island is a great profile for beginner divers, and also for more experienced divers who would like to enjoy a quieter dive, with shallow depths and lots of marine life.
