Ilha Solteira is a freshwater reservoir in Brazil featuring a mix of natural and artificial reef structures. Divers can explore depths ranging from 6 to 50 metres, with an average depth of 18 metres. The site supports drift diving due to moderate currents, and visibility varies between 8 and 30 metres. Thermoclines are common, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Entry is possible from both shore and boat, though boat charters are recommended to access deeper artificial structures efficiently. Hazards include boat traffic, entanglement risks, overhead environments, and significant depth. Divers should remain vigilant during ascents and be prepared for variable conditions.
