Salvador

Salvador is a major coastal city in Bahia, Brazil, with ready access to the Atlantic coast and a thriving dive scene nearby. While the city itself is more known for culture, food, and historic waterfronts, diving in the region centers on day trips to nearby sites along the coast and in the wider Bahia area. Local centers offer trips to reefs, walls, and wrecks along the Bahian coast, with typical visibility and warm tropical waters. For freshwater diving or inland options, the area is more limited, so most divers visit for coastal diving or as a gateway to the many Bahian dive sites along the coast.
