About Fundao Rio Parana
Fundao Rio Parana is a guided river crevice dive in the Parana River, with a long multi-level corridor cut through a wide current. The appeal is not reef color; it is the scale of the river, the deep stones and sand, and the concentration of freshwater fish that holds in the flow. This is a current dive that rewards skill, local knowledge, and a calm plan from entry to exit.
