About this dive site

This dive site, known as Aquário, is celebrated for its distinctive underwater topography, featuring a dramatic wall that forms a nearly 90-degree angle with the rock, creating a unique, square-shaped natural 'aquarium'. Located 15-20 minutes by boat from the pier, it offers a sheltered diving experience, especially within its protected section. There is no specific history or story provided beyond its descriptive name.

Aquário is teeming with marine life, particularly characterized by abundant small schools of fish. During the right season, divers have the exciting opportunity to encounter majestic manta rays, as well as sea turtles. Larger fish species are often sighted further out in the open sea, beyond the immediate protected area.

The best time to visit Aquário is during the manta ray season to maximize chances of seeing these magnificent creatures. When conditions are excellent, the site truly lives up to its name, offering crystal clear waters and vibrant marine encounters. Its moderate depths and protected areas make it an ideal spot for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking diverse marine life.
