Maragogi

• Tides matter: channels can run current as the tide changes. Plan dives and swims near slack tide when possible.
• Boat traffic: popular windows mean more boats. Maintain awareness on the surface and use an SMB or float when instructed.
• Shallow reef risk: most profiles are shallow, but coral cuts and fin strikes are common injuries. Control buoyancy and fin kicks.
• No fish feeding: prohibited in the natural pools and reduces safety by attracting aggressive behavior.

Maragogi is a small town. For serious issues, evacuation to Maceio or Recife may be required. In a suspected decompression illness case: administer oxygen if available, call local emergency services, and contact DAN for medical coordination. Hyperbaric medicine services exist in regional capitals, but availability and protocols vary, so rely on your operator's emergency action plan.
