Corais de Ondina

About this dive site

This dive site, Corais de Ondina (Ondina Corals), also known as Gardens, is a relatively small but vibrant reef covering approximately 200 square meters. The underwater terrain is primarily rocky, forming a foundation for a thriving coral community. Navigation is straightforward due to the site's limited size and shallow depth. There's no known specific history or story associated with the site beyond its reputation as a good spot for diverse marine life.

The site is teeming with various fish species. Schools of jackfish, whiting, and wrasses are common, along with surgeonfish and angelfish. Lobsters are also frequently spotted, and larger animals such as rays and potentially smaller sharks (sharans mentioned in the description likely refers to a type of small shark) can be encountered.

The best time to visit Corais de Ondina is likely during the warmer months (summer in the Southern Hemisphere, roughly October to March), when water visibility is typically better and marine life is more active. For both divers and freedivers, the shallow depth and generally calm conditions make this a suitable and enjoyable site. However, it's always advisable to check local weather and sea conditions before venturing out.
