Why dive here
With 55+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales - Ilha Anchieta offers some of Arraial do Cabo's richest reef diving. Water ranges 22-28°C, warmest January, February, March.
Ilha Anchieta gives you solid diving, particularly around the north and west sides. We've often seen turtles here, sometimes resting, sometimes just cruising past. The currents can pick up, so it's a spot that suits divers comfortable with a bit of a drift, but the payoff is good pelagic action and healthy schooling fish.
