Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Pedra Vermelha is a recommended spot for photographing corals and small colorful fish. The site is used in scientific studies as an underwater sampling location in the bay of Arraial do Cabo, and one of these studies classifies it as sheltered from the upwelling. At sheltered sites, the bottom has diverse algae and corals typical of tropical seas. At six sites in Arraial do Cabo, Pedra Vermelha among them, 153 fish species were recorded. Pedra Vermelha is also one of the places where green turtles are monitored to understand how freediving affects their behavior.
