    Pedra Nova offers a solid reef dive in Fernando de Noronha. Expect to navigate a healthy coral system, home to a good mix of the usual suspects you find around the archipelago. It’s generally a relaxed drift, perfect for knocking out a couple of easy dives, whether you're just getting your fins wet or prefer a calmer pace. We've seen a fair amount of smaller reef fish here, making it a decent spot for macro enthusiasts too.
