Ilha dos Meros - Paraty
★★★★☆
(1,295)
Ilha dos Meros, in Paraty-RJ, has become one of the most famous diving spots in the Southeast of Brazil, because most divers know the place and even made their first dives at this point. The diving is sheltered and very quiet. Maximum depth of 13 meters, without current.
Due to overfishing, there has been a great reduction in the diversity and size of marine life in this area, but it is still possible to see some shoals, rays and turtles.
