Brazil
The bottom at Ilha dos Porcos mixes large granite boulders, sandy slopes and rocky crevices with sponges and brain corals. Moray eels show up among the rock boulders, while green turtles forage on the sand.
The green turtle and the green moray are among the common animals around the island. At the southern tip of the island, moray eels and turtles have also been seen on dives. Parrotfish, sergeant majors and garden eels also appear among the rocky formations.
November to April tends to be the best time, when summer brings warmer surface water and calmer seas. Even so, upwelling can make the water temperature drop suddenly, and cold thermoclines may appear at any time of year.
