About Cabritos
Cabritos is a boat-accessed volcanic formation behind Ilha do Meio in Fernando de Noronha. The site is known for clear water, shelter for fish, and regular encounters with larger animals and schooling species, making it a strong island boat dive when the sea is settled and the boat plan matches the conditions. It suits divers who want a compact rock-and-fish profile rather than a long, open-water swim.
