Lagoa do Bomfim
Why dive here
With 44+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Lagoa do Bomfim offers some of Fernando de Noronha's richest diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest March, April, May.
Lagoa do Bomfim is a freshwater lake, not a typical ocean dive. We wouldn't consider it a primary dive destination on Noronha, more of an unusual side trip if you're keen to explore every corner. You'll find a thermocline to play with and some small freshwater fish, but that's about it. It’s an option for those looking for something completely different, or to tick off a unique freshwater experience.
