Bombinhas underwater


We dived in Ilha do Arvoredo in April 2008. The coral reef belongs to Reserva Biológica Marinha do Arvoredo, which is located 60 km north of Florianópolis, the capital of the Brazilian southern state of Santa Catarina. From the town of Bombinhas it's only a 90-minute boat trip and the boats are always crowded with divers and snorkelers coming up from colder Argentina. Visibility was around 3 meters and water temperature was 24°C.
