Best for advanced divers, Up to 17m, boat entry, strong current.
Fundao Rio Parana is a drift dive located in the Parana River, one of South America's largest inland waterways. This advanced site reaches depths of 17 metres and is characterised by strong currents that require precise buoyancy control and speed management. Entry and exit must be performed by boat. Visibility is highly variable and can drop significantly following rainfall upstream. The river environment supports a freshwater ecosystem typical of the region. Due to active boat traffic, divers must deploy a surface marker buoy throughout the entire drift. Facilities including air fills, equipment rental, and guided tours are available for those planning a visit.
