Ilha Josefa is a very shallow rocky-slope site that works well for easy scuba laps and simple snorkel-style exploration close to the surface. The draw is colorful small reef life, sponge and coral growth, and a layout that does not require deep or technical planning. Ilha Josefa is best for calm-day shallow touring, with a simple rocky slope that suits beginners, photographers, and mixed scuba-snorkel groups.
