The extensive coastline offers flexibility for exploration, allowing access either by boat or directly from the beach. Its shallow depths, averaging 3 meters and maxing out at 6 meters, contribute to a peaceful underwater environment.
The waters of Itaipu are teeming with active fauna, especially after dark. Divers can expect to encounter a large number of green turtles and guitarfish. In addition, squid are often spotted, along with a huge abundance of siris (crabs) that become highly active during night dives.
