    California in Arraial do Cabo offers a dive into Brazil's cool Atlantic waters. We've often found green sea turtles here, grazing casually, and the occasional stingray buried in the sand. The currents can be a bit shifty, so it's a spot that suits divers comfortable with varied conditions and those keen to spend some time watching the local residents go about their day.
