ILHA DOS GRAVATAS (BURACO DAS ALMAS) P & P MERGULHO is a Buzios boat dive for divers who want a lively rocky route rather than an easy bay swim. The site mixes small caves, a funnel-like rock cut, and coral-covered walls that reward careful buoyancy and a steady pace. It is best planned as a guided boat day because the route feels more exposed than sheltered coast dives and the safer sector depends on sea state. Turtles, rays, and dense fish schools are the main wildlife cues.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
18m - 40m
Depth Note
The Buraco das Almas side tightens into a funnel-like rock cut and then continues over walls and coral.
Best Season
Late spring through summer usually gives the most comfortable water and boat conditions.
Typical Conditions
Rock walls, caves, coral carpets, and open-water boat logistics. Good days give clear structure; rougher days make the boat choice and sector choice matter more.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Treat the cave pockets as look-ins rather than through-passes. Keep trim tight on the wall, watch buoyancy at the funnel section, and respect the captain's call if the sea state shifts.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only through a guided operator. The day’s sea state and route choice matter more than trying to force a fixed plan.
Legal Notes
Use the guided boat route and follow local maritime conditions; this is not a casual independent-entry site.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive for certified divers who are comfortable descending onto a wall and staying tight around cave mouths and coral cover.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site because the meaningful terrain starts on the boat-dive profile and deeper wall sections.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited and weather dependent; the site really pays off on scuba.
