Ponta do Ouro boat reef with a famous swim-through and macro life.
Wayne’s World is a boat-access reef off Ponta do Ouro with a surf launch, a mid-depth profile, and a mix of ledges, sand gullies, and a standout swim-through. It is known for coral growth and strong macro life, so divers come here for frogfish, seahorses, pipefish, morays, rays, and other reef wildlife when sea state and launch timing are right.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Expect surf-launch timing to matter, and plan for changing sea state on entry and exit.
Access Restrictions
Boat-only access and a surf launch make this a planned operator dive rather than an independent shore entry.
Legal Notes
Use a local operator and follow launch calls; this is not a casual shore-access reef.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A rewarding boat dive for experienced scuba divers who want coral structure, macro subjects, and a more demanding launch than a casual shore entry.
Freediving
Not a freedive target site; the boat launch and reef profile fit scuba better.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling site.
