parks, sub aquatic caves...but the best diving destination is without
hesitations the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.

FERNANDO DE NORONHA
With crystalline waters and an exuberance of corals, dolphins, lobsters and
colorful tropical fish, as well as wonderfully preserved beaches and virtually
no pollution, Fernando de Noronha is a paradise for divers, surfers and all
nature lovers. This beautiful and peaceful island is part of a volcanic archipe-
lago of 21 islands which lie 345km off the northeast coast of Brazil. Fernando
de Noronha has some of the best diving in the world with visibility up to 60
meters/200 ft. The options vary for beginners to the advanced divers.
Snorkelling is another excellent alternative.

To preserve the unspoiled environment, only 420 tourists are allowed on the
island at any one time, guaranteeing empty beaches and tranquility for the
visitor at all times, as well as the opportunity to commune with nature. 

Apart from the thousands of migratory birds that stop off at the island on
their way south, the waters surrounding the island are filled with hundreds of
playful dolphins, turtles, multi-colored fish, corals, sponges and other marine
plants.  Pelagic fishes such as sharks, tuna, jack, albacore and barracuda,
benthic fishes such as gigantic jewfishes, groupers and snappers. Spinner
Dolphins (Stenella Longirostris) frolic near the bow of the boats cruising the
diving sites; hundreds of them gather all over the year in their home bay –
Dolphin´s Bay.
