Cotia

Cotia is a landlocked city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It sits at about 820 meters above sea level and is not a base for coastal diving. The area offers freshwater activities and hiking, but there are no local dive sites or dive centers within the city itself. For diving, visitors typically travel to coastal regions of São Paulo state or other Brazilian coastlines, where Red Sea-like conditions and tropical marine life can be found. If you’re planning a dive trip, use Cotia as a gateway from the inland hinterland to the sea, rather than a diving destination in itself.
