About I Comprida - Face Norte
I Comprida - Face Norte is a boat dive on the sheltered north face of Ilha Comprida in the Cagarras archipelago, best when the sea is calm and the weather window is open. The profile drops abruptly from the island into sand, with schools of local fish along the slope and cleaner-water chances for turtles and rays. Plan on a weather-aware boat run, because the protected area can change quickly with sea state and boat traffic.
