Pedra da Botija is one of the main dive sites in the Pedra da Risca do Meio State Marine Park, alongside Pedra Nova and Pedra da Risca do Meio. The park was created by State Law No. 12,717 of September 5, 1997. Fishermen call the park's rock formations “riscas” or “cabeços”, and the protected area sits in the central portion of the area, hence the name “Pedra da Risca do Meio”.
The site is a group of rocks on a sandy bottom, with a variety of food fish and many trumpetfish, rays and angelfish. Across the park as a whole, 131 fish species have been recorded. In Fortaleza, the months from January to June, a period with little wind, tend to be the most favorable for diving.
