Profundidad reportada
8m - 40m
Nota de profundidad
Route depth depends on whether the dive stays on the tunnel, north face, or more exposed south face; the tunnel section is shallower and the south face is the deepest line.
Mejor temporada
Winter into spring is typically favored for clearer water on Laje de Santos, though any trip still depends on offshore sea state.
Condiciones habituales
Expect an offshore run from the Santos coast, open-water surroundings and conditions that change quickly with swell, current and visibility.
Seguridad y acceso en Calhaus
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Sea conditions can prevent diving here. With no anchoring ropes and a moving-boat giant stride entry, good boat-handling and diver control are important. The tunnel section adds an overhead component.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only inside Laje de Santos Marine State Park. Operators usually hold Calhaus for days with calm enough swell and sea state to run the tunnel or wall line safely.
Legal Notes
Calhaus sits inside Parque Estadual Marinho da Laje de Santos, where access is by authorized operators and mooring / reserve rules apply.
Local Intel For Calhaus
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a blue-water scuba route around boulders and rock faces, with the group staying compact if current or visibility tighten up.
Freedive
Not a routine freedive stop because the site is visited on scuba charters and the exposed offshore setting leaves little margin for unsupported drops.
Snorkel
Not a practical snorkel option for most visitors because Calhaus is an offshore boat dive with conditions that can shift well before surface swimmers get value.
