About this site
Lage Do Matariz off Ilha Grande offers vibrant marine life and dramatic underwater topography. Expect clear waters with visibility often exceeding 15 meters, ideal for spotting schools of fish, turtles, and occasional reef sharks. The site features large rock formations covered in colorful sponges and corals, creating swim-throughs and overhangs for exploration. Depths range from 8 to 25 meters, suitable for all experience levels. Strong currents can occur, attracting pelagic species. The warm Atlantic waters and rich biodiversity make it a must-dive in Brazil.
