Recifes da Ponta do Mutá - Abrolhos

Newfoundland diving means cold water, sure, but Black Rocks offers a unique perspective on North Atlantic life. We usually drop in here expecting a rocky bottom, and it delivers, with plenty of nooks for things like the oddly charming daubed shanny or a lumpsucker clinging to a crevice. It’s not about huge pelagics; instead, think smaller, tougher creatures thriving in these colder waters. We’ve spotted Greenland shrimp picking their way across the rocks, and if you’re patient, a Newfoundland eelpout might just peek out. Surface intervals often bring sightings of kittiwakes or arctic terns, reminding you of the wild beauty above and below. This site is a good pick for those curious about resilient, lesser-seen species.
