Shallow rocky parcel dive near Ilha Longa.
Parcel da Laje Branca is a shallow rocky parcel with cracks, low relief, and reef life spread across a compact boat site near Ilha Longa. It is one of the easier regional dives when conditions are settled, but it loses some of that simplicity when rougher seas start pushing water across the rocks. Parcel da Laje Branca is usually planned as a short boat run for easy reef structure, with comfort and current changing noticeably on rougher days.
