    CharacterReef dive

    Ilha Montão de Trigo, often called "Wheat Stack Island," offers a shallow, intimate dive experience. We found the real draw here is the network of small caves and swim-throughs, perfect for exploring if you enjoy poking around tight spaces. Maximum depth is around 8 metres, which means plenty of bottom time to spot things like lurking snappers, whiting, or even a few groupers tucked away. Visibility averages about 9 metres, so while it’s not always gin-clear, it’s usually good enough to appreciate the rock formations and the smaller creatures making their home in the crevices. This spot really suits divers who appreciate a relaxed, exploratory dive rather than big pelagics or vast reefs.
