Scuba diving in the park runs through authorized local operators.
Cagarras is a sheltered boat dive in Fernando de Noronha where a calm opening can lead into rocky relief and wall sections farther out. It works well for mixed-experience groups because the start is easy to read, while the deeper lines reward a slower, more attentive profile. The site is mainly about marine life and changing sea-state, so the best plan is to match the operator's routing and the day's conditions rather than treat it as a casual drop-in.
Safety Notes
Plan depth conservatively; the wall reaches 34 m.
Access Restrictions
Scuba access is park-controlled and the secondary islands are off-limits.
Legal Notes
Inside the park, no collecting, touching, fishing, feeding or camera rods.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as an organized boat dive with a sheltered start and optional deeper wall segments for comfortable divers.
Freediving
Possible only in the sheltered opening on a calm day; it is not primarily a freedive target.
Snorkeling
Only the shallowest, calmest part is snorkel-friendly, so snorkel is secondary rather than the main draw.
