Boat-accessed Ponta do Ouro reef with plate coral and ledges.
Steves Ledge is a boat-accessed Ponta do Ouro reef with plate coral, ledges, gullies, and a current-aware profile that often pairs with nearby reef dives. It suits divers who want a mid-teen depth reef with strong marine life, a compact route, and the kind of structure that rewards patient reef reading rather than long open-water swims. Expect an anemone-rich ledge with snapper, goatfish, trumpetfish, rays, and occasional turtles.
