Diving in Angra dos Reis: Explore 1 spot

Thirty minutes of instruction, then two dives in Angra Bay

Diving in Angra dos Reis is a 3-hour activity in Brazil's calm, translucent waters, led by a PADI-certified guide. After initial instruction on the boat, you descend to one or two dive sites depending on your certification level, spotting local aquatic fauna and flora. The operator provides wetsuits, tanks and flippers. Snacks and water are served on board.

The experience

The boat leaves daily with a small group, and the first half-hour covers the basics of how to dive. You'll be fitted for a wetsuit, then head out into Angra Bay. Beginners descend to a single dive site. If you're already certified, the guide takes you to two different spots. The choice depends on visibility and tide conditions, which the guide confirms on the morning of the dive to guarantee the best experience possible.

Angra dos Reis is recognized as one of Brazil's best diving destinations because the water stays calm and clear enough to see the rich local aquatic flora and fauna. The boat is equipped specifically for diving, and a live guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese leads the group. On the water, you get snacks and seasonal fruit along with water.

Bring a towel, sunscreen and cash or a card for any extras you want to buy. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them to reach the departure point. The activity is shared with other passengers, and the operator asks for your shoe size, height and weight when you book so wetsuits fit properly.
