Arraial do Cabo - Rio de Janeiro

Distance: 180km from Rio de Janeiro.

Located in the Região dos Lagos, the city is famous among the scuba divers and those who love the sea. White sand beaches and crystal clear waters are an invitation to relax.

 Arraial is strategically located near to Cabo Frio and the sophistication of Búzios. All this intense nightlife is close to the charming comfortable pousadas of Arraial.

Dive Spots

More than 40 dive points scattered around the small bay formed by the continent and the Cabo Frio Island. The map above indicates just a few of these points.

Depths can vary from 12m to more than 50m in some spots.

One important characteristic of Arraial do Cabo is that the cold deep waters rich in nutrients come to the surface during certain periods. These cold waters are responsible for the amazing variety of animals found in every dive. The average water temperature in Arraial is 21^o C (70 F).

During the dives you will be able to see turtles, moray eels, large schools of fish,    sea horses, rays, octopus     and much more.

For the experienced diver we offer the chance to explore underwater caves, historical shipwrecks and submersed canyons.

The rocky bottom is covered by rigid and soft corals, sponges of many different shapes and colors. Making the submarine scenario very special.
