This site is ordinarily dived from overnight or dedicated dive vessels already operating in Abrolhos.
Chapeirão Atlântida is a large Abrolhos coral pinnacle known for passages and tunnels that open into a broad chamber-like salon rather than a single straight swim-through. The structure combines mature reef-building coral with open blue-water edges, so the dive balances dramatic topography with the chance of seeing rays, large groupers, and other passing fish on the outer faces.
