Costao de Itaipu

★★★★☆ (86)

Excellent for night diving, when all the fauna is active, providing a peaceful and charming dive. The beach’s coastline is extensive, allowing for several ways to explore the dive, which can be done from a boat or with a beach entry.

The coast of Itaipu is home to a large number of green turtles and guitar fishes, and it is also possible to find squid and a huge amount of siris active at night.
