Scuba diving in the park runs through authorized local operators.
Caieiras is a guided Noronha boat dive that threads between three rock formations and a lot of algae-covered structure. The site feels like a straightforward scenic route for divers who want clear navigation and wildlife over dramatic walls, with turtles using the area to rest and feed. Keep the plan simple: choose a settled sea day, stay with the operator and expect barracudas or the occasional shark more than a fixed show.
