    Ilha de Buzios offers some decent diving, though it’s not always Arraial do Cabo's top pick. You'll likely find a good mix of smaller reef fish and nudibranchs along the rocky reef slopes. Conditions can vary, with currents sometimes picking up, so it's a spot better suited for those comfortable with a bit of movement. Visibility is usually pretty good here, making it a reliable choice for a second dive.
