★★★★☆ (11)

Located between the east and southeast of the back of Djeu, and further away from the islet, it can reach up to 40 meters, between walls and gorges. Similar to Ponta de Tubarão, you have to swim more into open waters, where there are chances of encountering larger pelagic fish, like around the islet.

More than 12 species of fish can be seen at this spot, with chances of seeing Tunas, Barracudas, Dorados, Esmoregal, Wahoo, Giant Rays, lobsters, and gray and lemon sharks.
