Terno - Salvador - Salvador & Bahia

Okay, let’s be honest. Wiakawa Swim Spot isn't going to blow your mind with dramatic canyons or whale sharks. Our team usually finds ourselves here when the Kaikōura weather turns truly foul and we’re desperate for a fin kick. But you know what? It’s surprisingly charming. This sheltered little bay, marked by those orange boating buoys, is basically a nursery. We’ve spent many a rainy afternoon here, poking around the rocks beneath the swim platform. You’ll spot an army of tiny blennies darting into crevices and a surprising variety of starfish clinging to the undersides of boulders. We’ve even seen the odd cowfish moseying about, which is always a treat. Visibility averages about four metres, so it’s an intimate experience – think macro lens, not wide-angle. It’s a genuinely safe, easy dive, perfect for testing new gear, practicing skills, or just getting wet when everything else is called off.
