Chapeirão Jean Pierre is a reef and cave site located in the Abrolhos Marine National Park. Divers explore depths ranging from 11 to 19 metres in water temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. The site features an overhead environment within the cave structures, requiring careful buoyancy control to avoid entanglement. Conditions are generally manageable with mild currents, though visibility can be limited, making a torch advisable even during daytime dives. Access is exclusively by boat, and the site is suitable for night diving. Divers should ensure all equipment and supplies are prepared before departure as there are no facilities at the site.
