Buceo con botella

Cómo se siente

Ilhabela delivers real-deal Brazilian coastal diving: boat rides across the Sao Sebastiao Channel to reefs, small caves, and an outsized list of shipwrecks. Beginner dives cluster around Ilha das Cabras and shallow wrecks like Aymore, while intermediate divers can step up to Velasquez and Theresina for classic reef-and-wreck profiles. For highly experienced teams, the legendary Principe de Asturias is the marquee deep wreck. Water is warmest from October to April (often 24°C to 28°C), and operators run year-round when seas allow. Local centers such as Oceano Sub and Narwhal Ilhabela handle logistics, rental gear, and site selection based on daily visibility and current.

Manual de planificación

Checklist del operador

Most diving is by boat, with sites chosen daily based on visibility, current, and wind. In summer (December to March) book ahead for weekends and holidays, and build ferry queues into your schedule. Ask shops whether Nitrox is available for multi-dive days and whether a dive computer is required on deeper wrecks. Inside protected areas (especially Ilha das Cabras), treat the site as no-take: no collecting, no gloves-on-the-reef behavior, and no feeding fish. Bring your certification card (or eCard) and logbook for advanced dives, and expect operators to be conservative when seas are up.
