About This Dive Spot

The dive begins on the eastern side of the rock, where divers can navigate through a notable fault that runs through the center of Estelão. This passage canyon is abundant with marine life, both in the water column and along the walls. Divers should exercise caution due to the presence of venomous scorpion fish, spiny sea urchins, and potentially aggressive trigger fish in the area.
