Dive Review

“I had the chance to dive several times at Praia dos Amores, and every time I saw green turtles swimming peacefully. With a max depth of around 7 meters, it’s a great spot for beginner freedivers. The water is crystal clear with excellent visibility!”

Dive Review

“One of my favorite spots for a chill snorkel / shallow freedive hangs in Buzios. Laid-back spots to hang along the water, plenty of turtles, and a bit more secluded than Praia da Ferradurinha across the water.”
