About Ilha do Farol - Alcatrazes
Boat dive on the Farol side of the Alcatrazes refuge, built around rocky reef, boulders, sand patches, and mooring-based access rather than a casual shore swim. The site is operator-led and works best when the sea stays calm, so it rewards good buoyancy, steady timing, and a flexible plan more than chasing it on a marginal day. Rich reef life and passing pelagics make the trip worthwhile.
