July 2013 Lots of turtles, sting rays and nurse sharks on almost every dive. Also some caribeean reef sharks and lemon sharks. Not the best place for macro life.

September 2006 Great dives with Atlantis Divers. Ismael Escote was the DM for us non portugese speaking divers and he really made the diving extra nice. FDN is an awesome place to dive and a top 10 most beautiful places to go. It is an easy trip from the USA, only a 1 hour time difference! No jet lag!

February 2006 Fantastic diving here - lots of sea life (turtles, spotted rays, sand sharks, reef sharks and lots more) and great night diving too - up to 25 rays seen, as well as turtles, lobsters, crabs and all sorts of odd-looking creatures. And fun dive guides too! Recommended.

June 2005 This is the best diving area in Brasil, a protected National Park with lots of turtles, dolphins, sharks, barracuras, stingrays, moray eels, octopus.... Very pristine reefs, full of fish schools. There are 3 good dive centers. A highly recommended place for any diver.

March 2001 - best dive site I have ever experienced - free diving is as good as the scuba

Stunning. The ship sits perfectly upright and has fantastic shoals of fish making their homes as well as some sand sharks enjoying the eerie peacefulness of this wreck. It's deep, so time is short. But well worth it. Next time I have to take my camera!
