Laje de Santos - Piscinas

This dive site, Laje de Santos - Piscinas, is a renowned shallow-water diving spot, perfect for photographers of all skill levels. The site is characterized by its relatively calm and clear waters in the 'Piscinas' area, though divers need to be aware of the potential for strong currents near the exposed edges of Laje de Santos. Navigation is straightforward within the designated dive area, but staying within the boat's visual range is crucial to avoid the stronger currents. Marine life is abundant and diverse. Divers can expect to see sea turtles, various species of small fish forming impressive schools, and moray eels are commonly encountered. The site may also offer sightings of other smaller reef fish and invertebrates. The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (October - March), when the visibility is typically at its best, and the water temperatures are most comfortable. However, remember that currents can be unpredictable throughout the year, so it's always recommended to check weather and current conditions before diving. Freedivers should exercise caution near the edge of the plateau because of the potential for strong currents. Divers of all levels should maintain awareness of their surroundings and maintain appropriate buoyancy.
