Massive submerged rock with big-fish traffic and advanced blue water.
Pontal do Norte is a massive submerged rock that rises like an underwater skyscraper from the sand, then steps divers up along a cliff and boulder profile. High visibility, deeper water, and regular sightings of big fish, turtles, and sharks give it a classic advanced outside-sea feel.
Legal Notes
Protected-area rules apply, and operators may reserve the site for experienced groups when the outside sea is running harder.
