About Parque Dos Meros
Parque dos Meros is a boat-accessed open-sea reef field built from artificial structures between Currais and Itacolimis. The site sits inside a protected marine park and is best treated as a guided scuba dive rather than a casual shore stop, with open water, moving sea state, and planning that depends on weather windows. The payoff is the chance to work the reef blocks for large groupers and a mixed parade of reef fish in a compact but active offshore setting.

Scuba Diving
Scuba is the main fit here: boat access, artificial reef blocks, and frequent large-groupers make it the primary way to dive the site.
Freediving
Possible only for experienced freedivers on calm days, but the site is better suited to guided scuba because it is boat-based and conditions can change quickly.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site. Surface viewing is limited, and the open-sea setup favors boat dives over a surface-only visit.
