ILHA DOS GRAVATAS( CORRIDA DO CAPITAO ) P & P MERGULHO is a current-driven Buzios boat dive for divers who want a moving wall instead of a relaxed reef cruise. The route runs along hard coral and rock faces, with the current line doing most of the work as the island shape changes the flow. It is best planned as a guided boat day because the safer line depends on sea state and on the captain choosing the right window. Turtles, rays, and dense fish schools are the main wildlife cues, and good trim matters more than raw depth.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Hold a tight line in the current and keep buoyancy smooth on the coral wall. This is a better fit for divers who can stay calm, maintain body position, and follow the boat captain's call.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only through a guided operator. Sea state and current window decide whether the point is a good call for the day.
Legal Notes
Use the guided boat route and respect local maritime conditions; this is not a casual independent-entry site.
