Laje da Pescada is a solid reef dive off Arraial do Cabo. It’s got a good structure of hard corals that attract plenty of local fish like grunts and snappers, with the occasional green sea turtle cruising by. The currents here can pick up, so we’d suggest it for divers comfortable in drift conditions. It’s a reliable spot for a relaxed afternoon dive, often with decent visibility.
