About Parcel do Coronel
Parcel do Coronel is a rocky open-water dive off Ilha Grande, reached by boat from the Angra dos Reis side. The parcel is known for grottos, caves, arches, and broken rock relief that gives the site a more adventurous profile than the sheltered bays nearby. It is best for experienced divers who are comfortable reading sea state and planning around exposed conditions. On calmer days it rewards with dense fish life, rays, turtles, and an engaging route around the rock structure.
