Why dive here
With 44+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Porto de Galinhas offers some of Fernando de Noronha's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest March, April, May.
Porto de Galinhas is a mellow drift dive, a nice easy one for when you want to warm up or take it slow. We usually find schools of jacks and barracuda hanging out in the gentle current. It’s a good spot if you’re newer to drift diving or just after a relaxed afternoon in the water.
