Prainha

No reviews yetBrazil, Rio de Janeiro, Cabo

On this site you can find a big variety of sea life. There are no fish fishes, but there are always some moray eels, brazilian electric Rays (treme-treme), squids, octopuses and other interesting species like the plagiobrissus grandis. It's an excelent site for a night dive! Usually there's no current and visibility is around 5 meters. It's a good idea to be careful with fishermen in the coast and carry a knife with you so you can cut lines and nets if you need. Shore Diving Arriving at Prainha, go to the right side of the beach. The dive there is usually better than on the left side. Prainha is also known as Prainha.
