It is one of the most outstanding activities in Buzios and the city is recognized by it, as it allows to know the amazing and rich sea life and its colorful vegetation. You will have the possibility of diving in warm and crystaline sea, see unique landscapes that you will not believe they exist. The south currents bring fishes such as anchovy, giant manta rays, corals, ichthyology, turtles.
