Angra dos Reis Diving: PADI-certified Crystal-clear Dives

Dive one of Brazil's clearest waters with gear and a guide included

Diving in Angra dos Reis is a three-hour activity on shared daily boats operated by a PADI-certified company, with dives suited to both beginners and experienced divers. You receive a wetsuit, tank and fins. The dive site is chosen on the day based on sea conditions. A guide leads the dive in English, Spanish or Portuguese, and the boat provides water and a light snack.

The experience

Angra dos Reis sits on Rio de Janeiro's southern coast with over 365 islands and hundreds of beaches, known for calm, translucent water that lets you see colorful fish, turtles and coral clearly. The operator chooses the dive site each morning depending on visibility and sea conditions, aiming to match the group's experience level. Beginners get one designated site. Certified divers can access two others. The boat departs after a thirty-minute orientation and wetsuit fitting, so you know what to expect underwater before you enter the water.

The activity runs three hours total and is shared with other passengers on a regular basis. You bring a towel, sunscreen and cash or a card for anything you want to buy on the boat. The operator supplies the wetsuit, fins and tank fitted to your measurements (you'll provide shoe size, height and weight when you book). Water, seasonal fruit and a light snack come on board. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're arranging your own way to the departure point.
