This dive site, Peredão, is characterized by a prominent overhang that defines a significant part of a very long reef system. Divers typically begin their exploration from one of two designated buoys, descending to an average depth of 10 meters, with the overhang's top starting at 18 meters and ending on a sandy seabed at 22 meters. The topography offers interesting swim-throughs and crevices, providing shelter for various marine species. There is no specific historical account provided for the site.
The diverse marine life at Peredão includes large moray eels, often found hidden within the overhangs. The reef is also home to vibrant parrot fish, trumpet fish, surgeon fish, and goat fish, creating a lively underwater scene. During the summer months, divers have the special opportunity to encounter loggerhead turtles gracefully swimming through the area.
The best time to visit Peredão for divers is during the summer when loggerhead turtles are more frequently sighted. The moderate depths and interesting reef structure make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore an abundant ecosystem. Ensure good buoyancy control, especially around the overhangs, to protect the delicate marine environment.
