    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Saltador, near Ilha dos Porcos, often has a consistent current, making it a good drift dive. We usually see schools of anchovies and sardines, which in turn attract larger jacks and barracuda. It’s a site that suits divers comfortable with moving water, offering a chance to cover some ground and spot pelagics.
