    Portinho at Ilha Rasa is a reliable spot when the swell picks up elsewhere in Arraial. We often find good protection here, even if the visibility isn't always spectacular. It's a decent dive for spotting octopus tucked into crevices and the occasional moray eel. This site works well for newer divers looking for calmer conditions.
