Bahia Verde is a shallow drift dive with wall life and yellow sponges.
A local operator is helpful for drift timing and shore access; solo entry is not the default plan.
Bahia Verde is a shallow drift dive along the coastline in front of the Green Beach hotel, where the wall and coastal fortifications create shelter for marine life. The route stays simple and relaxed, with natural rock taking over from the built structure and plenty of hiding spots along the way. Divers usually come for the easy coastal profile, the grouper activity around the wall, and the yellow sponge growth on the rock. It suits beginners in calm conditions, but the drift and exposed shoreline still reward steady buoyancy and attention to the surface.
