About This Dive Spot

Aquário is a dive site located approximately 15-20 minutes by boat from the Pier. The site features a distinctive wall that extends outward, forming a near 90-degree angle with the rock, creating a square-shaped structure reminiscent of a natural aquarium. Divers can expect to encounter small schools of fish and, during the appropriate season, sightings of Manta rays, as well as turtles and larger fish in the deeper waters beyond the wall.
