Rocky headland dive at the mouth of Sítio Forte.
Ponta Grossa is a rocky headland dive at the edge of the Sítio Forte inlet, where the route changes character as you work around the point. The site is better for divers who like contour-following coastline dives and fish life along rock habitat rather than a single headline feature. Ponta Grossa is planned around the headland itself, so comfort depends on whether the point is calm enough to round and explore without chasing the conditions.
