Why dive here
With 291+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Primeira praia offers some of Salvador & Bahia's richest diving. Water ranges 26-29°C, warmest February, March, April.
Primeira Praia offers a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the travel rust or an easy afternoon. We've seen a surprising amount of smaller reef fish here, along with the occasional moray eel peeking from the rocks. It's a straightforward site, making it a decent option for newer divers or those who just want a calm dip in the water.
