    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Montao de Trigo, just off Arraial do Cabo, is a solid choice for divers looking for a straightforward dive. We usually find schools of anchovies here, sometimes so thick they form bait balls, which often attracts bigger jacks and bonitos. The site is generally calm, making it a good spot for newer divers or those who prefer a relaxed pace. It’s not flashy, but it reliably delivers on schooling fish.
