Why dive here
With 44+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Picãozinho offers some of Fernando de Noronha's richest diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest March, April, May.
Picãozinho sits shallow, from five to fifteen metres, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers or those who prefer to stretch their bottom time. We usually find the water calm here, a nice change of pace. Look for the Blushing Star Coral and Mustard Hill Coral, they really pop against the blue. You’ll also spot plenty of small stuff like Speckled Worm Eels poking from the sand and Lofty Triplefins darting around. It's a relaxed dive, good for taking your time and soaking it all in.
