Angra Dos Reis

Angra dos Reis sits on Brazil’s Costa Verde along the southern coast of Rio de Janeiro state. The area is known for access to a string of offshore islands and sheltered bays with relatively calm conditions, making it a practical base for local diving along the coast. Local dive centers focus on boat-based day trips to nearby sites around the Ilha de Gipóia and surrounding islands; however, the region’s dive site count is modest and the activity centers on straightforward reef and rocky habitats with common coastal species. The area is also a gateway for coastal exploration and can be combined with island hopping and cultural stops in Angra dos Reis.
