Best for intermediate divers, 5-25m, boat entry, moderate current.
Chapeirao Atlantida in Abrolhos Marine National Park offers a combination of open reef and cave environments. The site features depths ranging from 5 to 25 metres, suitable for intermediate divers. Visibility typically reaches 9 to 10 metres, with water temperatures remaining between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. A moderate current is common, requiring careful planning to dive into the current first. The cave sections present an overhead environment, necessitating advanced buoyancy control and appropriate training for penetration. Access is exclusively by boat, located 30.3 kilometres from the shore. Divers should carry a torch and remain within the light zone unless specifically trained for overhead environments.

The overhead environment in the cave sections means an open-water certification alone is not sufficient preparation if you plan to penetrate deeply, so carry a torch and stay within the light zone unless you have overhead-environment training. Boat access is the only option, so confirm current operator schedules and conditions locally before committing to the trip.
