This dive site, Trinta Reis, is located around a small island in the 'Outside area' off Fernando de Noronha, specifically in front of Abreus Cove. Divers navigate through its most prominent feature: a natural canyon formed by two impressive rocky walls, creating a dramatic underwater passage. While no specific history or story is provided, the site is known for its vibrant marine activity within this unique geological formation.
The site is teeming with marine life, offering opportunities to spot sharks, rays, and turtles. Divers can also encounter giant schools of surgeonfish and piranjicas, creating spectacular visual displays. The rocky walls of the canyon likely host a variety of corals, sponges, and smaller reef fish, though specific plant life isn't detailed.
The highlights of Trinta Reis are undoubtedly the unique canyon swim-through and the abundant large marine life. The best time to visit would generally align with the dry season in Fernando de Noronha (August to February) for optimal visibility and calm conditions. Freedivers will find the 22-meter maximum depth and the canyon structure particularly appealing, offering exciting exploration opportunities. For divers, practicing buoyancy control is advisable for navigating the canyon.
