Why dive here
With 44+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Chata de Noronha offers some of Fernando de Noronha's richest diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest March, April, May.
Chata de Noronha gives you a different view of the island's volcanic geology. It’s a series of submerged rock formations, not a coral reef, with swim-throughs and small caves that you can explore. We often see nurse sharks resting in the sandy patches and schools of jacks swirling around the pinnacles. It's a good spot for divers who enjoy topography and a quieter dive than some of the more famous sites.
