Rochedos dos Calhaus gives us a good sense of Arraial do Cabo's character. Descend onto a rocky bottom where the surge can be playful, but the visibility often makes up for it. We've seen plenty of porkfish and grunts milling about, with the occasional greenback parrotfish darting through. Keep an eye out for pufferfish tucked into crevices and mustard hill coral clinging to the rocks. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate the smaller details and don't mind a bit of a current dance.
