About Ilha Vitoria
Ilha Vitória is a boat-access dive area between São Sebastião and Ubatuba, with sheltered shallows on some entries and deeper, more exposed points on others. The calmer spots work well for newer divers, while the stronger and deeper routes suit more experienced teams looking for a classic Litoral Norte island dive with reef fish, turtles, rays, morays, octopus, squid, and dolphins on the boat run.
