Ponta Grossa

Ponta Grossa in Arraial do Cabo offers something a little different, especially given its shallow max depth of 10m. We love it because you’re essentially exploring a rocky coastline that dips into the ocean, and the real magic happens when you round the point into the calm of Sítio Forte Cove. It’s an intimate dive, perfect for extended bottom times. We often spot schools of snapper and triggerfish darting amongst the boulders. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the Pygmy Filefish and the curiously named Butterbun nudibranchs – they’re easy to miss if you’re speeding past. The visibility averages around 9m, which is decent enough for this kind of exploration, and the rocky habitat means you get some interesting crevices to peek into. We've even seen barracuda lurking just off the edge of the rocks. For photographers, especially macro enthusiasts, this place is a quiet treasure. It’s a site that rewards slow, deliberate searching.
