Zimbo Dive - Salvador & Bahia
Zimbo Dive in Salvador is a solid choice for exploring the Bahia coastline, especially if you’re keen on seeing some of the local wreck sites. They run regular trips out to spots like the Maraldi, where the resident grunts and snappers hang out in the superstructure. We’d suggest them for divers looking for a reliable outfit focused on straightforward fun, without all the bells and whistles. It’s a good base for a few days of diving, particularly if you’re after a mix of history and marine life.
