About this dive site

This dive site is located at Praia de Bombinhas in Brazil, offering an easy and pleasant beach dive experience. The dive is characterized by a sandy bottom with a rocky side, providing clear orientation and making navigation straightforward even for beginner divers. The site is relatively shallow, ranging from 2 to 6 meters deep, ideal for those new to the underwater world.

Marine life is abundant here. You can expect to encounter a variety of fish species, including colorful reef fish common to the Brazilian coast. Depending on the season, you might also spot crustaceans, mollusks, and other small invertebrates. The rocky areas are good habitats for small organisms, providing opportunities for macro photography.

The best time to visit Praia de Bombinhas for diving is during the warmer months, typically from October to April, when visibility is usually at its best. The calm waters during these months make it especially suitable for both snorkeling and freediving. It is advised to check weather conditions and current predictions before each dive. While generally calm, it is good to be prepared for sudden changes in weather which could affect surface conditions, and to remember the basic safety rules for both SCUBA and Freediving.
