Grutazul is a decent spot in Arraial do Cabo if you're looking for a relaxed dive. We’ve seen octopuses tucked into crevices here, and the occasional green sea turtle glides by. It’s generally a gentle current, making it a good choice for newer divers or those who just want to take it easy. Expect some interesting rock formations to explore, but don’t go in expecting vibrant coral gardens.
