About Prainha
Prainha is a sheltered Salvador shore dive with a calm, training-friendly feel. It is used for night, snorkeling, and rescue-style sessions, with easy access and steady fish life rather than big topography. This is a good choice for relaxed practice dives when you want a shallow, low-stress spot in the Bay of All Saints. It works best in the drier months and on days when the sea stays flat.
