Cabeco Amarelo, off Fernando de Noronha, is a relatively shallow spot, making it a good choice for divers getting comfortable with the local conditions. We often find nurse sharks resting under ledges here, and the resident green turtles are usually easy to spot. It’s a site that works well for a relaxed second dive of the day.
